Arrange Months in sequence

Hi Team,

 

I have a sharepoint list which has 12 differnt columns for the reqpective months (eg : Jan, Feb,..., Dec)

The data comes from a powerapp.

I want to show these 12 columns in my Power BI report so that data for particular month can be shown, I have used unpivot columns method here so that 1 record became 12 entries.

And I am able to show the 12 months in filter as shown in attached pic,

But these are not in sequence, they are either in ascending/ descending order.

Is there any way in which i can arrange these months in the sequence within the Power BI report.

 

Thanks

    Hi abd3127,

     

    I'd like to suggest you create a sort table with 'month' and 'sort order' columns(remember to setting 'sort by column' property), then create relationship with original table and use related month column to create visuals.
