Graph by specific month order

Hi guys, 

 

I have watched a lot of videos and tried to follow online guidance on here but I still can't seem to get my graphs to order in financial year order (April first). I understand I need to have a new column with month numbers but struggling with the coding for this too...Any help is much appreciated. See below for my current data and graph.

    Easy as:

    January10
    February11
    March12
    April1
    May2
    June3
    July4
    August5

    October7
    Novermber8
    December9

     

     

    1.5 - In the Data view, click on your new Month column, Sort Column By - "Financial Order

    2. In your Model View - link the two Months columns - bidirectional one to many relationship. 

    3. In your chart, drag the Months from your new table as the x axis.

        Anonymous  Got it, I accidentally had them linked to other columns in model view.
