Hi,

1. Go to query editor.

2. In your table, right click on the date column and duplicate it first so that we still have the original column untouched.

3. Right click on your duplicate column, say Date-Copy, and select Change Type -> Using Locale

4. Set Data Type as Text, Locale as English (United Kingdom).

5. Close and Apply

6. Use Date-Copy along with your calculation. In the visual, sort it in ascending order.
