Hi, Rahul.

You can to use a map table:

monthnum, mothname

1, Jan

2, Feb

...

12, Decand use this table to convert your expression (12 into Dec). see more details about mapping in help, search by words: mapping, applymap

Hi,

Write a calculated Dimension if u wnat to see the output in charts else use a if condition in script like if( MnthValue=1,'Jan',if( MnthValue=2,'feb'

Like above repeat the if statements till u reach 12 th month.

Regards,

Ajay
