New Month Order
I have a table with unique completion dates/time and I created calculated column to display on chart in format "mmm-yy" . I then created a month number column and sorted the formatted "mmm-yy" by month number. With new January 2021 data, now it is placing this first. How can I organize visuals so that it's in sequential (time order). Thank you.

jcastr02 , You need to create a sort column
Month Year sort = FORMAT([Date],"yyyymm")
And Sort your column on this column

You can create a column with year and month and index base on that column.
