The best way to do this is create a separate formula field with the following formula

cstr(monthname(month({YourDateFieldHere})))

Use this in your chart.

This simply pulls the month from the date here. If you require to change this any, I'm sure you can change the format by right clicking, or alternatively if it shows up 01, 02, 03 ect.. you could use a series of IF statements in your formula, for example

IF {YourDateFORMULA} = "01" THEN January

And so on, although this shouldn't be needed as the MonthName function in the original formula should cover this.
