In report. Order Days of week in spanish

[Anonymous]

Hello Community.

I have been gathering information from a facebook page. I live in Perú so the data facebook provides is in spanish, as is my Power BI Deskptop. When I make a new column extracting the day of the week from a Date column, the days appear in spanish.  The problem occurs when I make a report with those extracted days, I cannot order them chronologically since that column stopped being a Date column and is a Text column now. In the report I can only order that field alphabetically wich looks kinda wierd. Really need to order them chronologically.

I tried changing the regional setting so everything would be english (I don't really mind the days appearing in english) but when I do this I get many errors from other columns and tables too.

Thanks in advance.

Create a column using the formula:

WeekDaySort = WEEKDAY([Date])

Set the Sort By for your text day of the week to this column.
