Month Order in stacked column chart

Hi coolie ,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Community.

Ensure your month name is sorted by a numeric month value and this needs to be present in your data model.
If your table already has something like:
MonthName = "January", "February", etc.
MonthNumber = 1, 2, 3, ..., 12

Now in the Data Modelling tab, click on the MonthName column
Choose Sort by Column > Month number
Refresh your visual, the months will now appear in the correct order.

To avoid repetition of month names as shown in the second chart, make sure your visual X-axis field is not too granular. Grouping by Year and Month number instead of full date helps.

Hope this will help.
Best Regards,

Turns out much simpler than this - you create your date hierarchy in the semantic model in the way it describes in the link above, but as long as you have a date field in your table you dont need to a separate dimension table. You can create a view to add the other fields in the hierarchy if necessary.
