    Hi, Anonymous 

     

    Based on your description, I'd like to suggest you create an index column in data scource. Then you may go to 'Modeling' ribbon, click 'Sort by column', make the index column selected.

     

    Best Regards

Ok, I change the typo to locale (united Kingdom)

 

But the dates are not in the same order as in the excel, and is very important the order.

Do you know how to fix that?

 

Thanks

    I would say, introduce a column with seriel no(or index) in excel and bring that to Power BI. You could use that column as a SORT BY column for date.

    Kudos are nice too
