Changing Date Format
Hello all,
This is my x-axis, with some of the months cut off because it's too long.
Is there any way to change the format to a month/year format like "Jan 23"?
Or are we bound to the formats listed in PBI?
Thank you!
You can format the date a ton of different ways by creating a new column. This should give you what you want.
Date Format = FORMAT ( 'Date'[Date], "mmm" ) & " " & FORMAT ( 'Date'[Date], "yy" )

How do I get the dates to ascend in order?
There are different options to sort. If you select the chart and select the "..." in the top right, you can sort on different fields/values. You may also need to order your new column by your date column to ensure it's getting the correct order. Select your column and the column tools should pop up allowing you to sort your new column.
