I opened my eyes, everything around me is blurry and cold. I hurriedly looked at the watch, it showed 10:30, but it meant little for I am in a different timezone. While I was trying to clear my eyes the guy who is sleeping infront of me said “hi”, even before I could open my mouth, he asked me if I want to join him for a smoke. I took almost a minute to respond, “yeah, but I dont smoke.”
Leaving my bags and jacket there, I wandered for sometime. I took a peek in to the smoking room only to found eight women and two men busy reducing their lifespan. Smiling I went ahead to the brightly lit restaurant zone. Everything seemed incredibly costly. A regular latte for 95 baht and a veg burger is about 90 baht. I didn’t have so much with me. “Lets exchange some”, my sleepy mind suggested. Bloody coffee addiction! I cursed myself and looked out for an exchange point.
After a while and a cup of coffee, my friend asked me to join him for a snack at Burgerking. We found a person eating alone at a table while reading “never eat alone“. After a hearty laugh and some french fries we wandered for a really long time along the alleys of Suvarnabhumi Aiport in Bangkok.
10 hours of it in total. Life in transit lounges could be unimaginably boring

Hello...
In Power BI I have data that includes months by name only (e.g. May, April, December...)
I need to build charts etc. but i need the months to go chronologically... not alphabetically... I cannot seem to find the fix to this.... once again, my data does NOT have an actual date attached to it (like 02/01/2023)....only month names... can i use a helper table wher i id the month names as numbers 1 thru 12? and if so, how do i manage this to work for me ?
Thank you.

You need to setup an extra table to map each month name to a running number. A simple 12 row table like
Jan 1
Feb 2
Mar 3
..
Dec 12
Then create a relationship between this month table and your month column
Now, go to "table view" in Power BI and set the sort by column to month number for the month name column on this new table.
Finally, use the new table's month name whenever you need to refer to the month name in the visuals.
They will be chronologically arranged.
