Hi,
I'm working visuals for sales ffrom FY2017 through FY2019. Our fiscal year is Dec 1st - Nov. 30th. I already had a month field, and created a numeral month field and used 'Month = FORMAT(DATE(1, [Numeral Month], 1), "MMM")' to change the order. That worked, but how to I change the numeric month order to start with Dec as month 1 through Nov as month 12? I know it's probably very simple, but I can't figure it out. Thanks! -Stephanie

@Anonymous add calculated column like this
FY Month Number =
IF ( Table[MonthNumber] = 12, 1, Table[MonthNumber] + 1 )
I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!

Hi! Thanks for your help! I actually found this option and got it work.
@Anonymous That will work but I will not do that rather the column expression I gave you that will work, you just need to calculate month number from your data and a single line code will work rather this switch statement, although it is not a big thing, it is not something will change ever but it seems too much for such a simple task.
Anyhow, you have the solution, it matters the most.

If you can provide instructions on how to do it, I will try. When I tried it orginally from you post I was getting an error, so I tried the switch method.
Thanks!
@Anonymous I think in your table you have a column called Numeral Month use that in the following column
FY Month Number =
IF ( Table[Numeral Month] = 12, 1, Table[Numeral Month] + 1 )

Good mmorning @parry2k!
The formular you provided worked great, thanks again. I have question, I have fiscal year (2017, 2018 & 2019) in my data and the months (numeral month, text and FY Month Number). How can I have the FY Month Number go in oder of fiscal year and month?
ie.
Nov 2017 =1
Dec 2018 =2
Jan 2018 =3
Feb 2018 = 4
through Nov 2019 = 24
Thank you! - Stephanie
@Anonymous create a new sort column with following expression and use this to sort fiscal month
Fiscal Month Sort =
FORMAT( Table[Fiscal Year], "####" ) & "-" & FOMAT( Table[Fiscal Month Number], "##" )

@Anonymous Fiscal Month Sort value doesn't look correct.
Fiscal Month Sort =
FORMAT( Table[Fiscal Year], "####" ) & "-" & FOMAT( Table[Fiscal Month Number], "0#" )
The value should be 2017-01, 2017-02, 2017-03 and so on.....
