LIne chart x-axis labels with two data series issue

The table feeding the line chart's x-axis consists of four columns: SundayDt (date), PYSundayDt (date), SundayDtLabel (text created from the SundayDt formatted as "MM/dd") and DashboardWeek (logical). 

Variables in the table (ReportMonth & ReportYear) create a table that has true for a consecutive 4-month range of Sundays and their corresponding Sunday in the previous year.

The data points for the two y-axis ranges are the attendance on each week where DashboardWeek is true for CY & PY.

 

I've sorted the SundayDtLabel column by the SundayDt column. The x-axis label need to be month and day number (as shown in the image below).

 

PROBLEM: date labels are not displaying in chronological order.

Hi @newhopepdx,

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum. Also, thanks to @Shahid12523, @danextian, for those inputs on this thread. I reproduced the scenario, and it worked on my end. I used my sample data and successfully implemented it.

Use SundayDt as the x-axis (continuous).
Create SundayDtLabel = FORMAT([SundayDt], "MM/dd") and set Sort by column → SundayDt.
This way labels show MM/dd, but sort in correct date order.1.png2.png

Hi @newhopepdx 

If you have the actula date column, use that instead, go to data format and format the date as MM/dd
