I am not sure if I understood your question corectly but try to add new column to query, for instance, MONTH_NAME, as function which extracts the month from the date column, for instance TO_CHAR(DATE, 'Month') or convert the date to char and then do SUBSTR to extract the three letters of month.
Then make new Format Exception in Conditional Formatting property of field end_am and make it invisible (set hide the object property to yes) if the new column MONTH_NAME has certain values, like 'oct' or 'October' (watch out for number of blank spaces in month name as a result of function TO_CHAR(DATE, 'Month')).
hope this helps
