Dates in the wrong order (Matrix)
hey guys,
I have a matrix below that doesnt display the dates in the correct order when the week goes across a month, any ideas how to fix this?:
JamesShawPBI Look at the image you just posted. Look in the upper right corner of the Matrix visualization. See those three dots ( ... ). Those are ellipses. Click them to get a menu of things you can do, one of them is controlling sorting.
