How to create a monthly reporting chart from summary report?
Hi,
I have created a summary report from my sheet where I've month year, total cost and total test amount. When I'm trying to create a chart without grouping it any additional entry shows up as a new entry in my chart. If I group it then the months does not remain chronological. I'm attaching a snapshot of what the issue is.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi @SIS
Grouping on a Text column will Group the data alphabetically, which is why your months are in the wrong order. Are you able to add to that column? I would suggest adding a number at the beginning in order to help the Report Group correctly... ex:
1 - Jan 2022
2 - Feb 2022
Let me know if that would work for you!
Cheers,
Genevieve
