Hi all,

 

How do I sort my date below "MMM-YY" in monthly order for slicer?

 

Step I already try:

1. Sort axis - Month Year

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

If you have a date column, then add the following new column, and sort [Month Year] column by [YearMonthNum] column.

 

YearMonthNum = FORMAT ( [Date], "yyyymm" )

For more information, please refer to: Sort one column by another column in Power BI 

 

If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information or the expected result you expect. Let me know immediately, looking forward to your reply.
