Hi
Sorry this must be a simple question but I am new to Alteryx hence asking it. I have a date set which has two column one for month and another for year. I need to combine them into one column as a date so for example 3-2015 or 3/2015 for the first entry in the example below. I need them to be a date so that when I run through I can arrange date in order of first to last date.
I have used this formula [MonthofYear]+"/"+[Year] to create a new column as a string. However I can't arrange the rest of the date from nearest time period to the last period as it is a string so when I run through all the other steps the data comes out as I need it but arranged in the wrong order.
If you could help that would be great.
| Month | Year |
| 3 | 2015 |
| 4 | 2015 |
| 5 | 2015 |
| 6 | 2015 |
| 7 | 2015 |
| 1 | 2016 |
| 2 | 2016 |
| 3 | 2016 |
| 4 | 2016 |
| 5 | 2016 |
| 6 | 2016 |
| 7 | 2016 |
