How to Limit Column Chart based on Date

I can set a data limit for my column chart to 25 columns, but then how do I specify to show the newest date and 25 data points before that? If I set the date field to top N = 25 and by "latest date" its not working (shows me dates in December).

Means both Axis and Meausre are date in topn
