How to display dates as MMM YYYY in Powerpivot 2013

My company just upgraded to 2013 so I'm upgrading all reports and sorting out compatibility issues etc...

One issue I have established is in date formatting. To get stuff sumarised by month in 2010 I had a worker column which was

=DATE(YEAR(InvoiceDate),Month(InvoiceDate),1)

and then displayed this as "MMM YYYY". This way it grouped all the data to one date (the first of the month) and displayed it in the desired format. But on graphs/charts etc 2013 seems determined to not follow this format when the data is returned to excel for use in charts/pivot tables.

Any ideas?

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Can it be that this format isn't available in the 2013-er version? Then you could create a text field instead and sort it by the main date column.
