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. This is crucial for me.

This request is represented twice (https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/16835431-automatic-date-hierarchy-for-direct-query-data), and both register a high number of votes. Please consider this in the next prioritization cycle, as this is foundational functionality.
