Dear Guru of PowerBI,
I've a date "Opened_at". I've created Year,Month Number,MonthName columns to have on my date slicer only the real month and added it to a new Hierarchy
This is how the months are showed. I would like have them order by Month Number
and show them as
2023
Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
Instead of having them sorted alphabetically by name.
If I add MonthNumber to Slicer, it sorts in a correct way, but I don't want to show the month Number.
How Can I achieve This ?
Hi @f_e_user ,
Select the month name column and sort that column by the month number column from the column tools column . It will sort your issue.
Best Regards,
Ajith Prasath

The only way to sort by MonthNumber is that I add MonthNumber in Field Hierarchy
And it becomes Like this.
However, I would like to mantain this order without visualizing the Month Numbers (1,2,3,4,5) in the slicer.
