Helper IIGraph months in wrong order
Ah, so if you click on your visual as is, there is the "Expand" button in the tooltips (upper right-hand corner). It looks like an upside down fieldgoal. Click that and then you'll see the additional details.
Helper IIThanks Paul,
I have chosen to display by Date instead of hierarchy so all in the correct order now- thank you!
I cant see any option to format the date field to just be Month name? I have looked in the format tab as highligted below - or am i looking in the wrong area?
Thinking about it some more, why not just include the year in your original visual (with the full date hierarchy)? If you're doing a YTD calculation, you could always just drop months that =0 or only show the last 12 months.

Hi Paul,
This is what the graph produces if i choose year and month - doesnt appear to break it down any further unless i select only "month" but then it arranges the month in the order as per my orginal post?

Ah ha, that worked - Thank you!
As a side note - would you know how to calculate these sales to prodice a cumulative month to month graph also?
