How can I add the 'ORDER BY' inside that current DAX in a way to SORT ASC?

Hi,

 

I have a measure which get the dates filtered in a 'DateDimension' table, but as you can see on the imagem below, the order of months are not in the right order.

Q: What is the right 'position' to insert the DAX 'ORDER BY' with 'ASC' parameter?

 

 

MeasureSelectedPeriods = 
IF (
ISFILTERED ( 'DateDimension' ),
CONCATENATEX (
VALUES ( DateDimension[Month-Year]  ), DateDimension[Month-Year], ", " ), "No period selected" )

Hi  @jr3151006 ,

I created some data:

vyangliumsft_0-1670811275353.png

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated column.

Year_Month =
MONTH('Table'[Date]) &"/"&YEAR('Table'[Date])

2. Create measure.

Measure =
var _min=MINX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
var _max=MAXX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Date])
var _table=
FILTER(
    'Table','Table'[Date]>=_min&&'Table'[Date]<=_max)
var _table1=
SUMMARIZE(_table,[Year_Month])
return
CONCATENATEX(_table1,[Year_Month],",")

3. Result:

@jr3151006 If those aren't real dates but text, it is going to sort them as if they are text. Perhaps try adding a Sort By column with a real date?
