Hi@sameergupta60

 

You can create a column chart and a slicer with month name field ,then sort the month name with the fiscal year number field.

 

For more information about sorting Data by Fiscal Year in Power BI,you can refer to this :

Your Date column is not  a Date type. It's a text type.

I will explain what I have done.

 

I have a date column which I using Dax format &  convert into "MMM YYYY"

 

Month Name = FORMAT(allbar[Finish],"MMM YYYY")
 

@sameergupta60 ,

After that change the format from Text to Date like below screen shot.
