Hi All, Need Help in sorting
Is there a way to implement custom sorting in Power BI, especially when dealing with text values and hierarchical columns in a matrix visualization, since the default sorting options may not provide the desired outcome?
| Current Output | Desired Outcome |
| 1 of 50 | 1 of 50 |
| 10 of 50 | 2 of 50 |
| 11 of 50 | 3 of 50 |
| 2 of 50 | 4 of 50 |
| 21 of 50 | 5 of 50 |
| 25 of 50 | 6 of 50 |
| 3 of 50 | 7 of 50 |
| 38 of 50 | 8 of 50 |
| 4 of 50 | 9 of 50 |
| 40 of 50 | 10 of 50 |
Hi Omesh,
You can create a calculated column like this:
And then sort your main column by the calculated one:

Same suggestion.
I already have a table with three columns (as mention). I want to sort all three columns within that table according to specific criteria, and then I need to display the sorted data in a separate table visualization. However, I'm currently encountering an error message that says, "There cannot be more than one value in the 'rank' for the same value in the 'current output.' Please select a different column for sorting or adjust the data in the 'rank' column."
How can I address this issue and sort all three columns simultaneously in a same table?
