A client was using the formula MonthName(@MonthStart,-1) in a column heading. Obviously this use the current date and does not allow the specification of a starting period. Using Report.FormatPeriod(@StartPeriod,-1) gets the period as 10-2021, 09-2021, etc. Is there another formula that would return the description of the period as Oct 2021, Sep 2021 etc?

Thanks, should have more examples like this is help, manuals, and training courses.
It does not support the shift option like =Report.FormatPeriod(@StartPeriod,-4)
=Format( '{0: MMM yyyy}', DateAdd( Report.GetPeriodEndDate(@StartPeriod), 'm', 0))
=Format( '{0: MMM yyyy}', DateAdd( Report.GetPeriodEndDate(@StartPeriod), 'm', -1))
=Format( '{0: MMM yyyy}', DateAdd( Report.GetPeriodEndDate(@StartPeriod), 'm', -2))
THANK YOU for this example. Wish the in-app documentation had more examples like this.
