Academic Ordering

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get my matrix months to start at September as 1 and end at August as month 12.

 

When I try to order by my academic ordering column it displays the image below. I also cant create a conditional column in power query because it doesnt have my date table in it.

Is there a way around this?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Liam

You have to create a new column

Month sort = if(month([Date])<9, month([Date])+4,month([Date])-8)

and mark this as sort column

Refer:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/desktop-sort-by-column

Also, check my calendar which I created for Apr-Mar, you can take it and make it sep-Aug
