Sort a chart by Date order

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi all, I have a table with events called EVENTDETAILS. I want to display a chart of how many events per month. I've created a calculated month field from my date field and have the following formula - 

 

AddColumns(GroupBy(EVENTDETAILS;"Month";"GroupedColumn");"Count_of_events";CountRows(GroupedColumn))

 

It works fine, but now I want it sorted by chronological order. Can someone please assist with the syntax. I don't know how to bring my date field into the formula to sort by it.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

    You need to bring the field back in list like this

    Sort(
     AddColumns(
     GroupBy(
     EVENTDETAILS;
     "Month";
     "GroupedColumn"
     );
     "Count_of_events";
     CountRows(GroupedColumn);
     "DateSort";
     First(GroupedColumn).YourDateField
     );
     DateSort
    )
