Please show us your table, the data in it, and the results you want to see.

Better yet, give us the DDL for the table, INSERT statements for your data, the SQL you have tried, and the results you want to see.

Help us help you.

Current month +1 to end of the year has not occurred yet.

not at all sure what you are asking...but (as a guess) is this anything related to month to date / year to date sales figures and previous year comparisons and budgets?

If I understand what you are asking, try the following.

SELECT *

FROM your_table

ORDER BY CASE WHEN <your criteria here> THEN your_date_field ELSE '9999-12-31' END ASC

, your_date_field DESC

"1[st] month to current month, current month+1 to end of the year" is the same month ASC order.

Attached is the new file which has data in present format and required format. I tried to do through SQL and data comes in ordered way but as soon as data comes in excel pivot tables, its not ordered so may be if there is any excel feature to do it.

As said earlier currently data is coming in usual order as from Jan to end of the year. However data is needed as Jul to Dec and then Jan to Current month (Jun) .

Add the year to your data set.

this makes no sense without years. Are you saying that you'd need Jul '14 through Dec '14 and then Jan '15 through Jun '15?

Or are you saying a rolling year across the months, based on today? There is no ordering to the data in a table, so without a year, and without trimming this to 12 rows only, you couldn't do it.

However if there are just 12 rows, you could assign month numbers, and then add or subtract for the month numbers either before or after the current month to set an ordering column.

Add the year to your data set.

Sounds like you need to use a calendar table. This looks a bit like fiscal year to me.

Yes I know, I saw it. You need the year as well as the month in your data set.

Do you need help with getting the year as a column into your data set?
