Creating a column with fewer values form months
Hi@Tamir
For value (blank) in this column may have many different corresponding values in other columns, So it can’t be sorted by another column.
And filter the whole report/page by this column is just to hide the "Blank" in the visual you don’t want to see, so you can just add a visual level filter on this visual.

Hi v-lili6-msft
Your DAX solution is wonderful.
However, How can I sort it by months and not alphabetically?
Using the "Sort By" command in the Modelling produce an error due to the empty cells for future months.
I could format the months as "mm" and get the form of 01,02...etc... but I do want the names (three letters).
Also, how can I hide the "Blank" months (the future)?
Any idea?
Thank you,

Hi@Tamir
Q1:
You can format the months as "mmm" and get the names and the form of three letters.
Q2:
This error is not caused by the empty cells of the future months,
It could be caused by the duplicates in “Months Months Names YTD”.
For example :
We sort Index by Column or Column 2, it’s OK.
But soft Custom by Column or Column 2, it will be wrong.
Q3:
if you want to hide the "Blank" months, you can drag Column field into Page level filters and filter (Blank) like below:

Hi v-lili6-msft
Q3 and Q1 - Great. Did it.
Q2 - I don't understand. As in your screenshot, I would like to sort column2 ("mmm-yy") by the Index column (in my dimCalendar it would be column MonthYearNumber).
Thank you,

Hi@Tamir
After my test by adding Column Months Name YTD and Column Year Month Number and sort Months Name YTD by Year Month Number like you,
I can not reproduce the error.
So could you please share your pbix or the data sample and formula of your Column Months Name YTD and Column Year Month Number.
You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.
