In addition, i would like to change another chart to show percentage total against month rather than 'grand total' or 'Count' please help

@  For your question 1 sorting order @amitchandak  has answered it so try that out. And regarding your second question please do the following as per screen shot. So that will give you % of total.

Don't forget to give thumbs up and accept this as a solution if it helped you!!!

Please take a quick glance at newly created dashboards : Restaurant Management Dashboard , HR Analytics Report , Hotel Management Report, Sales Analysis Report , Fortune 500 Companies Analysis , Revenue Tracking Dashboard

@ , You need to have sort column

 

Month Year = FORMAT([Date],"mmm")
Month Year sort = month([DAte])

 

Mark Month Year sort  as sort column of Month Year
