Hi Everyone,
I have a calender table in power bi and one of the columns shows 'MonthYear' in below format.
How can I shorten it to 'Jan-2023', 'Feb-2023' or 'Jan-23' 'Feb-23' for example?
Thank you!
Solved! Go to Solution.
Please try this as another Calculated Column:
AbbMonthYear = FORMAT( [MonthYear], "mmm-yyyy" )
Regards,
Use Sort by Column to sort this new Column by your original MonthYear column

Hi rsbin,
Thanks for your message. I tried your method but the new column has data type as 'text'. When I use this in my chart, I wanna sort my x-asix by the order of month. When they are in text format, they are sorted alphabeticallt which is not what i want. Any suggestion what I can do?
Thanks!
Thank you rsbin for your fast reply!! You are amazing!!
