Fiscal Period Sorting by Month
I have a sales data table which is only referencing a Period as the month e.g. 1 - 12. From that I have created a period lookup table and set 1 - April as our Fiscal Year runs from April-March
What I am now finding is whenever I add this onto visuals in Matrix it cannot keep this order and is sorting by the period number or the Month name in a random order. I suspect I need to create a new measure/column but not sure how to achieve this - examples I have seen are able to do this as there is date data but in my sample it's sorted by a period number at the lowest level.
How can I achieve this?
Thank you
nh27 ,
1. Go to data view and click the month column
2. Now go to sort by column option in the top, refer the image attached
3. In the dropdown select period for sorting of month,
4. It will work as expected.
Thanks,
