Hi
I have the below table
I don't have the separate date column as this data is very small. My data is based on the calendar year. I sort the month year based on month number and visualize the month year vs value, getting below graph
My axis (mont year) is not sorting. I have the data from June 2021 - April 2022. This is monthly data. My data source is excel, and next month we change the data and it becomes July 20222 - April 2022.
I need to sort this month's year in the graph (June 2021 - April 2022) and also ensure it sorts automatically if the date is updated.
Could you please advise?
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous you need to set the "sort by" column for your Month-Year column to "MonthNumber".
From Data view, select the "Month-Year" column and set the "Sort By" column to "MonthNumber".
EDIT - you may also want to create a column in the format YYYYMM which combines year and monthnumber, and sort by this column instead. That will enable proper sorting across calendar years.
Below is an example with a similar dataset.
The marked solution does not work.
you need to use the following method, by multiplying the Year by 100 + number of month..
here is a video on it:
