It is Easter time in Denmark and Sweden. In Scandinavia, Easter is the most celebrated time of the year. So we have a 5 day holiday at work.
Few of my colleagues and me are going on a train trip to Copenhagen, Hamburg and Cologne (Germany), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and if possible to Brussels (Belgium).
But that shouldn‘t leave you in the cold. So we have an Easter egg for you, hidden in this post. Find out the URL and click on it and you will be treated with a secret treasure of excel and charting tips. Savor them while I am on a cross country trip.
Happy Easter Weekend Everyone…
2 Responses to “Top 10 Power BI Interview Questions & Answers”
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.
