Can you check that your month year serial column is numeric?

Thanks for pointing that out.

Now I have made it numeric but still it is not chronological.

    You may need to make the numeric column to sort by something different, try creating a calculated column that ranks the date in order:

     

    1. RankColumn = RANKX(ALL(Table), Table[Date Column], , ASC, Dense)
    2. Select the field you want to be ordered (yearmonthserial)
    3. Select column tools, sort by column, then the rank column you just made

    4. if the chart doesn't update automatically, remove the yearmonthserial field and readd it.
