When using direct query you should be able to change a date axis to show only the month. This works using excel or when doing a transform but neither of these are possible using DirectQuery. Even workarounds like FORMAT can't be used with direct query. This really needs fixing!

Please add DATE HIERARCHY in Direct Query mode also. Why there is such a difference in import and direct query mode. Too much difficulty in handling such situation.
RE: Improve Direct Query Date Time Handling
I do not understand why direct query acts differently than import. This needs to be fixed. I am spending silly amounts of time trying to work around it.

Import and DirectQuery data connectivity modes should have the same common functionality of Date/Calendar hierarchy. This is so overdue from Power Bi team. Please consider implementing it as soon as possibly can.
I would rank this request from user community above all new futures released monthly.
