    Monthwise Sorting Not Working in Pivot Table

    Dear All,

    The Column C is having Dates, Column D with forumula =TEXT(C2, "MMM-yy;;") to get the Month name. When I create Pivot table it shows as below:
    Apr-16
    Dec-15
    Feb-16
    Jan-16
    Jun-16
    Mar-16
    May-16
    Nov-15
    Oct-15
    Sep-15

    This should be starting with Sep-15 and ending with Jun-16.

    Can anyone help me on this.

    why not use: yyyy-mm ?

    if this is not working for you add the excel file, without confidential information.

    edit

    or even better, split the year and month in separated columns.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    Delete column C from your source data. Just use the Date column in your pivot table, then right-click it, choose Group, and group by year and month.

    it works for me, but you have to change the yyyy-mmm in your formula into (as already offered) yyyy-mm

    see the attached file.

    Rorya - When I group by year & month, year & month are shown in two different columns.

    Oeldere - I wanted the month to be display by name instead of numbers. For eg.. Apr-16, May-16

    Is that really an issue? (and if so, why?) It is by far the simplest solution IMO.
