Month Name in sorting order
Go to the database tab, select month name column from your calendar table. Select the modeling tab and then "Sort by Column" and select your month number column. Month name should now appear in the correct order.
I am running Power BI Desktop version 2.51.4885.701 and do not have a Database tab. I have Home, View, Modeling, and Help. Do you mean the Modeling tab? If not, is there a different way to sort in numerical month order, instead of alphabetical month order?
Sorry, tab is probably the wrong term, view would be more appropriate. Within PowerBI Desktop, you have 3 icons on the left. The top one is the visualization view, next is the data/database view, and the third is the relationship view. Click on the data/database view and then follow the above instructions.
I have the same problem but the way I get my data into Power BI is with a live connection to Microsoft Analysis server. So I don't have a database view. How do I do it?
I have the same problem, i'm using a live connection to a Analysis Service. So i don't see the three tabs on the left.
Anyone got a solution for this?
If you are using live connection from Analysis Services.
you can do it in your analysis services model. click on the month name field and goto properties there you can see sort by column option click on the drop down and select month num column( if you don't have one already create one by using Calendar function). Process the cube and you can see changes in Power BI now.Hope it helps.
Thanks
