Hi @Anonymous 

How does this measure calculate?

If it comes from a date column as below

month of processing = FORMAT(MAX(Sheet3[date]),"yyyy-mmm")

It is sorted incorrectly in a table or matrix visual, is this your scenario?

If so, you could modify the measure as below so that it can be sorted correctly.

Measure = FORMAT(MAX(Sheet3[date]),"yyyy-mm")
