G’day Mates:
I have a worksheet export that has dates listed in the header row that are not in chronological order.
Can someone provide insight on what I can do to have the dates listed chronologically by MMM-YY?
I’ve been trying to work more with PowerQuery, so if possible, can you please the steps on how I would do this in PQ?
Thank you - This will be an incredible time saver and greatly appreciated!!!
