Sorting Year-month sequentially

[UditJ]

Using below formula to calculate year-month:

Year-Month = FORMAT('Reporting.Digital'[Date],"MMM YYYY") and sorting this Year-Month on Month Number and below is the output i am getting:

Desired Output is - Jan 2022 Feb 2022 March 2022 .... Jan 2023 Feb 2023 March 2023.. 

Please suggest how can i achieve the above desired output

Hi @UditJ ,

Please create a new calculated column:

Year-Month-Sort = YEAR('Reporting.Digital'[Date])*12+MONTH('Reporting.Digital'[Date])-1

And sort by this column.

HI @UditJ 

Please create another column

SortOrderYearMonth = 
Year(Table[Date])&Month(Table[Date])

Select the Year-Month column and change Sort by to new column

Let me know if that works for you
