Hi @alt_tush ,

 

Another way to do it apart from the one suggested by @messi007  is to use the formula 

 

DatetimeMonth(DateTimeParse([Month],"%B"))

 

The DatetimeParse([Month],"%B") is going to convert Jan, Feb, Mar to a date correctly formatted (yyyy-mm-dd) and the datetimemonth function will return you a numeric value for that month
