Sort by WeekDay Names

Hi,

 

I am not able to sort WeekDay names. I want to sort by Mon to Sun. please help

 

 

  • Hi mrrobottelg - In your date table, create one calculated column with Day Number as below and sort it on the top of column Week day with Day number.

     

    calculated column as below:

     

    DayNumber = WEEKDAY([Date], 2)
     
     
    Once created new column sort the Name of the day (Week day in your case) with sort by column Day Number as below image:

    Appreciate your Kudos!!

  • Hi,

    In the Calendar table, create a calculated column formula to extract the Day of week

    DoW = format(calendar[date],"dddd")

    In MS Excel, create a 2 column by 7 row table with day names in column 1 and order of those day names in column 2.  Name this table as doworder.

    Day name Day order
    Monday 1
    Tuesday 2
    Wednesday 3
    Thursday 4
    Friday 5
    Saturday 6
    Sunday 7

     

    In the Calendar Table, write this calculated column formula to brin over the Order column from another table

    Dow order = related(doworder[order])

    Click on any cell in the Dow column of the Calendar table and under Sort by column, select Dow order.  to your visual, drag Dow from the Calendar Table.
