Hello everyone,

I want to sort below month'Year in asending order.

shankarshiva70_0-1610796941510.png

Used already-Created monthNo & sorted on and got result correct for only year but not for more than 1 year as it has more than 1 year like in above view .

I don't have to plot year above month row in view.

Thanks

Shiv

Hello @Anonymous ,
Create MonthYearInteger column 
MonthYearInteger = 

CONCATENATE( 'Calendar'[Year], RIGHT("0" & 'Calendar'[Month Number], 2) )
Sort the MonthYear column by MonthYearInteger.

Hi Tarun, 

 

Thanks for reply

I have done this by this way

Created one column 

MonthYearSort = FORMAT(Dates[Date],"YYYYMM")
Month'Year=Format(Dates[Dates],"MMM'YY")
then goto Sort by > click on monthyearsort then output will be correct.
Thanks

You need to create the sort column including the year, modify monthno column as follows, and sort by that:

YearMonth = YEAR(Dates[Date]) * 100 + MONTH(Dates[Date])
