Hi all,

 

I have an issue with sorting of months in a cross tab.Need to display the year and month.

 

But by default it is displaying in alphabelital order. Do we have any work around?

Thank you vanessafvg. I tried it but still it is displaying in alphabetical order.

 

My requirement is that the month should start with April. So for the financial year it will be 2016-Apr,2016-May and so on

 

till 2017-Mar.

 

The Year should be appended along with the month name.i tried sorting on year month number like 2016-04. it does not work even

 

if i remove the year.

Hi @sudhakar111,

 

You can try to add a calculate column to convert financial date to numeric, then drag above column to columns field, it may fix the issue.

 

Numberic Fiscal Date = VALUE(FORMAT([Date],"yyyymm"))
