How to Sort Month Starting on April?

[#1]

Have this sort expression that isn't working for me right now. I basically want the graphs to start on April instead of January:

=match(month([DS-Date]),'Apr','May','Jun','Jul','Aug','Sep','Oct','Nov','Dec','Jan','Feb','Mar')

I tried with full month names as well with same results. Thanks!

This is exactly how I want it to show but can't figure out how to get it to work. How should I load my "Date" column and what expression should I use?

My date data is formatted as MM/DD/YYYY

I'm using this in the script as well

LOAD * INLINE [

    MonthsName, MonthsID, MonthsOrder

    Jan, 1, 10

    Feb, 2, 11

    Mar, 3, 12

    Apr, 4, 1

    May, 5, 2

    Jun, 6, 3

    Jul, 7, 4

    Ago, 8, 5

    Sep, 9, 6

    Oct, 10, 7

    Nov, 11, 8

    Dec, 12, 9

];

and sorting by expression: MonthsOrder

Sorting  expression

=Mod(Month([DS-Date])+8,12)

Hope this helps

You could extract the month in load script.

LOAD ......, month(DS-Date) as MonthsID

Or, if date is a string, extract che part with Num(left(DS-Date,2)) as MonthsID

Let me know.

Hi Jason,

I guess in your case is April the first month of the fiscal year, isn't it?

Why you don't create in your master calender  fiscal data, like fiscal month, fiscal year?

at first you need a variable

set vFM=4;

then use the following formular

Mod(C_Month-$(vFM),12)+1 as FiscalMonth,

with the result that April is the first fiscal month.

May = 2

June = 3

.... = ...
