Error While sorting a date column with Yearmonth

Hello
I am unable to sort the date column with the Yearmonth Custom column. getting this below error. 

Please Suggest 
Thank you

 

  • Hi! In order to sort Approved Date, you will need a column that has the same value for monthyear. In your data YearMonthNo has different values for each row. So, for Jan 22 of approved date you would need a column that signifies that this is 1 (for example, you could make a column that has 1/1/2022 for everything that is Jan 22, 2/1/2022 for everything that is Feb 22, etc.).

    you need to create a column where the each value in approveddate have one and only value in the order column ,

     

    and 1 value in the order column is to one a only one value of the approved date 

    ex : 

    col1       order

    jan 22      1 

    jan 22      1

    jan 22      1

    feb 22      2

    feb22      2 

     

     

    i would suggest you create this column in power query . 

     

     

    hope this helps
