    Pivot Table/Chart - Months in Alphabetical order

    Hello,

    I have some Pivot tables and charts linked to monthly results. The charts and slicers are displayed in chronological order: Jan - Dec (Format is 'general')

    My issue is when third parties use the Excel the same graphs / charts / slicer are in alphabetical order i.e. Apr - Sep

    I think that the issue may be due their language settings (French & German) however cannot find a solution

    Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks,

    and in addition to the solution of mikeTron (in #2)

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    format the cell (last option in the format drop box) and type 00 (zero/zero)

    In that case the months will line up according to the months.

    Otherwise you get 1, 11, 12, 2, 3, 4
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you are satisfied with the solution, please mark the question solved.
