Line Chart Months on Axis

Hello Fellow Power BI Users,

 

I have a line chart with a date on the X Axis as shown below.  The months July-December (2016) display in the correct sequence along the X-Axis.  However, January (2017) is showing to the left of August. 

 

Do any of you know how I may cause January to appear after December?

 

 

Thank you,

 

Michael

  • Is your X axis month name or actual dates?  If it is just month name, you will need to make some kind of month-year key to put on the X axis.  If you are more interested in reording (i.e. for a fiscal year Feb-Jan), then you need to make a Month Order column in your data that you can sort Month Name by.
