I have a requirement of plotting sales growth month on month for 2 years categorised by 3 regions (legend) . I am able to plot the chart , however the months columns are displayed year wise like Jan to dec for 2023 and again Jan to April for 2024( bars) .
I want Jan 2023 and Jan 2024 sales side by side . Similarly for other months.
How to rearrange in this manner in x axis.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Snehapbidev ,
First of all, many thanks to @amitchandak for your very quick and effective replies.
Based on my testing, please try the following methods:
1.Create the simple table.
2.Drag the month into the X-axis, drag the sales into the Y-axis and drag the Region into the legend.
3.Drag the Year field into the small multiples. Set the Rows is 2 and the Columns is 1.
4.The result is shown below.
Best Regards,
Wisdom Wu

@Snehapbidev for that in your visual first drag month and then year and use concatenate label off and sort on axis
You need to have two columns on axis , month (with a sort column month no) and year
It is default option these days, in case it does work
