Sorting DAX date table

[Anonymous]

I currently have a date table I use for my table matrix.  Im trying to show 2020 and 2021 data in the matrix, but want it sorted desending showing jan 4 2021 first and going down.  I cant seem to get it that way since I have 3 date columns in the matrix Year, Month and day.  No matter waht way I sort I cannot get it this way. I tired sorting by all of the 3, but doesnt work since the year is the top.  Only works when Im doing 1 month. 

Thanks

Sorry I have been OOO.  I was able to just use the main date and sort it that way instead of by month, day , year

HI @Anonymous,

I'm not so clear about your descriptions, can you please share some dummy data with the expected result (the way similar as the above blog link mention) to help us clarify your scenario and requirements?

BTW, if you are working with situations that similar as creating 'sorting order' on a calendar based on fiscal date, you can take a look at the following blog:

Hi @Anonymous,

Have you tried to create a calculated table with custom sorting orders and link to your raw table fields?

Custom Sorting in Power BI 

BTW, for multiple column sorting, you can try to use ISONORAFTER function:

Sorting by multiple columns

@Anonymous , Where are you showing date , If you showing on column(pivot) you need to have sort column to change it to descending.

Create date if you do not have

Date = date([Year],[month], [day])

Date1 = date([Year],[month], [day])

Date Sort = rankx(all(Table), [Date],,desc)

Sort Date1 on date sort and use.
