    Hi, a68tbird ;

    I tested it , product as rows, sales as values, date as  column;

    If the column is Date Hierarchy, sort by column is not work ,so we should change the different column about year and month.

    create a rank column.

    Column =RANKX('financials',YEAR('financials'[Date]),,DESC,Dense)

     

    The final output is shown below:
