Sorting X Axis Accuracy/Calculation Issue

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to develop a report at the moment, which I've had issues sorting my X Axis by Week Numbers.

Currently my X Axis is shown by -

Wk 1 January

Wk 2 January

Wk 3 January etc.

To make this work, I labelled each week number to just a number i.e 1,2,3 etc.

I added these numbers to my tooltips, which seems to have corrected the alpha/numeric ordering. However I'm getting a huge cumulative jump randomly at the start. I found that I could change the tooltips to "Count", however all that does is revert my X Axis labelling to "Wk 1 January", "Wk 10 March" etc.

Is there any way I can correct this issue? I can't see why my chart is showing a huge jump in the beginning of the year, where as I should be expecting a steady rise.

Thanks

Have you tried to choose the week numbers column and click Modeling->Sort by column, then choose number column. Then you only need to sort your week numbers in the chart. That will follow the orders by number column.

However, I still recommend you to create a calendar date table and link that with your fact table. Then in the chart you can drag the columns from calendar date table. That will be much easier.

Thanks
