Sorting issue
- 11 months ago
Hi Jaspreet99
In Power BI, text fields sort alphabetically by default. To apply a custom sort order (High >> Medium >> Low):
1. Create a SortOrder column (numeric) like:
High = 1
Medium = 2
Low = 3
2. Create column:
SortOrder = SWITCH ( TRUE(), Categories[Category] = "High", 1, Categories[Category] = "Medium", 2, Categories[Category] = "Low", 3, 4 )3. Select the Category column >> Column tools >> Sort by Column >> choose SortOrder.
Now visuals will show High >> Medium >> Low instead of alphabetical.
