Method 1:

- Use the Format Date column with the `MMMM` formatting option.

Method 2:

- Add the month names of the year in a single column, one row per month
- Use a Math column to determine the Month Index number from the date: `Month(Date)-1`
- Use a Single Value column to fetch the month name from your list of months, using N from start where N is the month index.

Method 2 requires more effort, but it is more reliable and is guaranteed to work regardless of device/browser/regional date format variations.
