+## Description
+An app needs to process data for the month - is there a way to use DatePicker and choose only the Month/Year? Displaying it is quite easy with Format.
+
+Is it possible to get a DatePicker that shows a popup with only month/year selection?
+
+## Solution
+You can use the `BottomView` to limit how far down the user can go to. If they can go down only to the Year view they will effectively select months.
+
+You can also set a `Format` that shows the month and year only too.
+
+Here is an example of both:
+
+ 
+````CSHTML
+@selectedDate
+<br />
+<TelerikDatePicker @bind-Value="@selectedDate"
+                   BottomView="@CalendarView.Year"
+                   Format="MMM yy">
+</TelerikDatePicker>
+
+@code{
+    DateTime selectedDate { get; set; } = DateTime.Now;
+}
+````
