How to order year-month-weekno on X-axis in chronological order in Line chart

Hi,

 

I have the below dataset, Week column is in Year-Month-Week number format.  I cannot convert Week column to Date data type. When I convert Week to Date data type, Power Bi is changing week to Year-Month-Day format.

How to arrange X-axis chronologically in line chart. I would like to see my line chart X-axis in Date chronological order(Year-Month-Week number) but not Year and Alphabetical order(2016-APR-1,2016-AUG-1, 2016-DEC-1, 2016-FEB-1 and so on ).

Please let me know how to arrange X-axis in Year-Month-Week number order in Line chart.

Thank you!

Hi @parry2k ,

 

I cannot change it to Date format as I am not able to change week column to Year-Month-Week Date format.

 

When I change week column to Date Format, Power Bi converts week column to Year-Month-Day format instead of Year-Month-Week Date format.

 

Please let me know if there is a way to convert Week column in my dataset to Year-Month-Week Date format.

 

Thank you!

 

Regards,

Aswini

@Anonymous I don't think you need to worry about how it creates the hierarchy, you just change not to use hierarchy when you drop this column on x-axis.
