Bar chart: sort date values

Hi together,

 

I have a bar chart with date values in the following format: 2020-January, 2020-February...

 

I want to sort the values with the months in the correct chronological way.

 

Unfortunately the data is sorted by the name of the regarding month.

 

Do you have an idea how to solve this?

 

Thank you and regards,

 

Andreas

@Anonymous  Create a calculated column to get the month number in the column and then sort the month using the Month Number calculated column.

Hi @ghoshabhijeet ,

 

I understand how to sort it within the data view.

 

But I don't get it how to do it within the bar chart.

 

Because I want to show the month names (2020-January, 2020-February...) and sort them via the numeric month.

 

Can you tell me how to do this?

 

Thank you and regards,

 

Andreas
