Create a New Month Year column

Create a desc sort column for that

Month Year = format([Date],"mmmm-yyyy")

Month year Sort =format([Date],"yyyymm")

 

Rank= Rank(all(Table),[Month year Sort ],,desc,dense)

 

Sort month year on Rank column

Thats not what im looking for, i want to sort the columns(which are dates) by Attribute value

Hi @Fragan ,

 

Unfortunately, it is not supported to sort by value for now. 

 

Please vote up the idea to get the feature fixed quickly. There are already hundreds of people vote up. I think it will be implemented soon.

Matrix - Sort rows by value (asc or desc)

@Fragan , In Matrix, Once you put column, you can only sort on the grand total of measure. Using the 3 dots
