Chart - Date Order - Google Data Studio - sorting

I'm doind a chart of warehouse income and outcome but X-Axis is not ordering the date correctly
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Try setting the Sort parameter to you date dimension and use Ascending option for it.
Should look like this:

Steps to implement date range feature in QuickSight

I am evaluating Quicksight to use as a BI tool for our application. In that process, I created a simple bar chart that shows realized return on a stock for a specific period (X-Axis: Realized Return, Y-Axis: Execution Date). However, our requirement is to let the user select a date range and display the realized return for that selected date range (on Y-axis). It would be helpful if someone can advise on the steps to implement date range feature on the charts in QuickSight.
Thanks,
Venkat
Tried "Parameters" to implement date range filter to the chart but was unsuccessful.
You can add a date filter to the visualization.
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quicksight/latest/user/add-a-filter-data-prep.html
Once the filter is added to the visualization, you can also add it as a control to the Analysis/Dashboard to let the end user interact with it.

How can I sort the date in the X axis properly on a Bar Chart in Kibana?

I'm trying to order the date ascendantly in the X axis of the chart. And I've set it up that way here:
However, this happens:
Is there a way to work around this? 25 January should be the last bar. I've tried changing data formats to see if it would order properly but with no success.
You haven't specified how you are generating this graph, but it looks like you've done a Terms aggregation on the date field. The order by you are showing is then for the terms count. If you look right above that, it probably says order by: Metric count. What you want it to say is Order by: term.
In any event, in general, you don't want to aggregate by date like that. Instead choose a Date Histogram aggregation. That will allow the time filter/aggregation bucket size to be changed.

Vega-Lite / Kibana : How can I make a table that shows calculations between aggregations?

I want to do a data table in kibana like the following:
see image
That means, the 2 first columns are the sum of price and quantity and the 3rd column divides both sums to get a ratio.
Also I want this to be dynamic to changes in time range.
As far as I've seen getting the ratio is not possible in kibana, but I've noticed that there is a plugin were you can create Vega-Lite graphs in kibana.
I am new both in Vega-Lite and in kibana, so is there an example of code that creates a data table?
The Vega-Lite site did not help me a lot...
Thank you!
I believe you could add a scripted field to calculate this ratio and then u can have the column you want :D

SSRS sort not working

On a number of reports I have noticed that setting sort options through the tablix properties does not work. I choose the data I'd like to sort by (date) and set the option (Z to A), but the report still shows unsorted. Has anyone else seen this issue? I have read that updating the report xml to include the sort may be what needs to be done because the report builder does not preserve the changes made. Haven't gone down that road yet as I'm looking to see if there's a fix already identified.

Those are the columns from the export with data filling each column. Can't give too much info because it shows phone numbers and addresses.
One option is to sort the data in your dataset. Then you can leave it and SSRS will honor that.
As the others mentioned, make sure you check the datatype so it's not trying to sort the dates as a string.
Set the sort priorities at the group level, not on the table or dataset properties.
You should never have to edit the XML to get this to work. This is a basic built-in feature that most reports use.
Do you have groups on your tablix? if yes, did you try sorting it with the Row Groups or Column Groups at bottom instead of the sorting properties of the tablix?

How can I get a Telerik Reporting graph to sort the x-axis by a date and format that date?

I have a Telerik report with a graph. The graph's x-axis is a series of dates. Our client would like those dates in order from oldest to most recent. They also want the dates formatted to not include the time portion of the date. I've tried for the past day to get this to work and can't figure it out. Can someone explain how to do this?
I started out with a graph based on this query:
SELECT AnalysisNumber
, convert(varchar, DateSampled, 01) as DateSampled
, ViscosityAt100C
FROM tblSample
ORDER BY a.DateSampled ASC
The results look correct with the dates in order from oldest to most recent:
but a graph is produced where the dates were not in order:
I can't begin to include all the setting for the graph, but here is what I think is the relevant part. Let me know if there's something else I can show you.
Notice the sorting is by DateSampled which is now, of course, text not a date.
If I remove that sorting (to try to preserve the original sorting from the SQL query), the graph no longer works:
So I tried to use a date instead of text. The query is now this:
SELECT AnalysisNumber
, DateSampled
, ViscosityAt100C
FROM tblSample
ORDER BY a.DateSampled ASC
...the output looks the same:
and the graph looks like this:
The dates are sorted the way I want, but all the dates have a time element that I don't want because it's irrelevant and it takes up too much space.
I tried changing the type in SQL:
Cast(DateSampled as Date) as DateSampled
but it still showed the time in the graph.
I tried formatting it using the properties for the x-axis:
but it did not change the formats of the date. In fact, changing to any of the formats in that property did not change anything.
Lastly I tried to include both a string and date in my query:
SELECT AnalysisNumber
, convert(date, DateSampled) as DateSampledText
, DateSampled
, ViscosityAt100C
FROM tblSample
ORDER BY a.DateSampled ASC
and using the DateSampledText to group by and the DateSampled to sort by:
it just ruins my graph again:
I tried adding the text version to sorting and other variations, but never got the graph back to where it was showing data.
Sorting and formatting a graph doesn't sounds like it should be difficult. This was supposed to be one of the final changes before going into production and I've already spent so much time on this. Can someone tell me how to make this work? Thank you!
I believe you need to change the scale of your graph. I think by default it is Category Scale, but when using dates, you would need to change it to DateTime scale.
In your graph properties, where you set the Format of the X-Axis, there should be a property called Scale. Try setting it to DateTime.

The reason you can't format the dates is because the graph is treating them as strings.
You need to change the x axis to be of type DateTime Scale instead of Category Scale. Category scale is the default and is more appropriate for when you are graphing the number of Apples, Oranges, and Pears, for example.
In the standalone report designer the setting is under Presentation Category > Coordinate Systems > cartesiancoordinatesystem1 > X Axis > Scale
..
In addition to changing the scale type, because the scale expression is now not just a string, you also need to set the X value on your line series.
This setting is under Presentation Category > Series > lineseries1 > X
For some unknown reason the setting should not be "=Fields.DateSampledText", but "DateSampledText". The documentation is irritating bare of details like this.
