Sure this has been asked, but the "suggestions" I'm finding I either don't understand or do not apply to my particular situation. My data assigns all transactions that occur in a month to the last day of the month (i.e. 1.21.23, 1.25.23, 1.27.23 would all be "stamped" as 1.31.23). The business requirement is for alll the date headers both across and down in the pivot table be in the format "mmm yyyy" (Jan 2023). So I create my date dimension with all dates and the Month category in the appropriate format:
Date FMT_Date

So what is the simplist (pronounced - with the least amount of programming) to achieve the desired result?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello,
You can add another column to your date table in the format YYYYMM to sort your MMM YYYY table on (the below should work). That would solve the error message you're getting and allow you to sort.
FORMAT ( 'Dates'[Date], "YYYYMM" )
