    Hi, abelbb 

     

    You can try the following methods. In the Power Query, add index column:

    Column:

    Count = CALCULATE(COUNT('Table'[Month]),FILTER('Table',[Index]<=EARLIER('Table'[Index])&&[Month]=EARLIER('Table'[Month])))
    Date = DATEVALUE(2023-[Count]&"/"&'Table'[Month]&"/"&"1")
    Sort = YEAR([Date])*100+MONTH([Date])

    Is this the result you expect?
