How to show Months in order in Power Pivot filters

Hi,
Currently my pivot table shows Month-Year (MMM-YYYY) in filters not in order and this is because they are Text in Data Model which are linking to original Ship Dates. Have tried to convert the format to Dates but returns error and if I try to make the pivot table with the original Ship Dates, it picks up all dates instead of just Month-Year which is how I want to show.

Is there any way around the issue?

Thanks,

Hi Tsudoi

Thank you for the forum question.


Is it possible to send me just few of the "dates" (Ship Dates) from the source? I know you connect the source to PowerQuery and from PowerQuery to PowerPivot. I would like just to get the dates before they get to PowerQuery.

If you could extract 10 dates to an Excel workbook and send the workbook to:

Excel tip:

Freeze Rows and Columns to keep lables displayed

You can freeze rows and columns in your worksheet so they don't move.

This allows you to keep row and column labels displayed on your screen as you move through a large worksheet.

Click below and/or to the right of the cell(s) you want to freeze. (NB. Excel freezes ALL the rows above and ALL the columns to left of the selected cell)

Click on the 'Windows' menu and selct 'Freeze Panes'.

Lines appear in your worksheet. The required rows and columns are frozen and remain on your screen as you move through your worksheet.

To unfreeze rows and columns, click on 'Window' menu and select 'Unfreeze Panes'.
