If I am correct, this is more specific to Power Pivot (where my data are located) and not PBI where this maybe is not issue.
I have dim table "plan per employee" for each quarter. In this plan, I would like to count added new customers to the the plan during quarter and to show it per employee by quarter/by month by correct month order. Issue I have, and don't know how to bypass it without to create new dim table with Month-Year (I already have one dim Month-Year which is filtering dim Date for many other calculation and cannot filter "plan per employee with active connection):
How would I be able to count added customers per quarter and show it in correct month order with the already created Monht-Year table? Once I created new DimTable Month-Year I can simply do OrderB in data model and as this table directly filter "plan per employee" I don't have any issues. Would this somehow be possible with already existing "old" Month-Year table with inactive connection in order to decrease number of Dim Tables?
for now I have simply calculation COUNTA([DateAdded]), i tried with some DAX, but i am lost... Thank you to anyone who could help me out...

Hello @al1981 ,
1. For getting the right moth order, If your Month-Year is stored as a text (e.g., "Jan 2023", "Feb 2023"), and it’s not ordering correctly, you can use the SORTBYCOLUMN feature in your model. Ensure your Month-Year column is sorted by an integer field such as a Month-Year Index (e.g., "202301", "202302"). This can ensure proper chronological sorting.
2. Using this measure you can re-activate the relationship between Dates table and Plan table CALCULATE(COUNTA('PlanTable'[DateAdded]),USERELATIONSHIP('DimDate'[MonthYear], 'PlanTable'[MonthYear]))
