Hi,
Is there a way we could bring in a field to a format 'dd-mmm-yyyy' and still be able to sort. (I understand the Format function will help me with the format but it wouldnt let me sort as it would it be a text.)
Thanks in Advance.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Sorry. I'm not quite sure I understand you.
These two are calculated columns:
format_Date = FORMAT(Query1[Date], "dd-mmm-yyyy") date_Sort = RANKX(Query1, [Date],,ASC, Dense)
Sort Ascending by date_Sort
Change Header options:
hide date_Sort:
You can use this method:
In a calculated column:
date_Sort = RANKX(Query1, [Date],,ASC, Dense)
Next, put your formatted date and the sort into a visual. In the Format Property under Column Headers, turn both off "Auto-size column width" and "Word Wrap". Sort your date and then "hide" your date_Sort field.
Thank you for your suggestion. There is one issue .. the RANKX function would order text output ( which is from the format function for'dd-mmm-yyyy') only in the alphabetical order first..
example (choose ascending)
