HI chaitanya ,

Also firstly convert them into date format and try to sort.

Date(monthstart(Date#(month,'MMM-YYYY'))) as Date

Please create master calendar and Sort it in as you wish.

Thanks,

I am using rolling 12 months exp

count({<[Event Category]={'Near Miss'},maxdate1={">=$(=MonthStart(AddMonths(Max(maxdate1)),-12),'MMM/YYYY')<=(=MonthEnd(Max(maxdate1))),'MMM/YYYY')"}>}DISTINCT [Event ID])

date(Date#([Reporting Period],'MMM-YYYY'),'MMM/YYYY')as maxdate1

Reporing Period Is my month filed.

is there any wrong in above script.i got the sorting but I am missing some months.

actuvally in 2018  I have jun may apr mar but in my chart showing only may 2018 and remaing 2017 and 2016 it showing exact sorting.

hi,

use the below sort expression

MonthName(Date#(month, 'MMM-YYYY'))
