    Hi  Anonymous ,

    I created some data:

    Here are the steps you can follow：

    1. Create calculated table.

    Table 2 =
var _table=
SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Customer],"Sum",SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Customer]=EARLIER('Table'[Customer])),[Value]))
return
ADDCOLUMNS(
    _table,"rank",RANKX(ALL('Table'),[Sum_Measure],,ASC,Dense))

    2. Relationship to join two tables.

    3. Select [Customer] – Column tools – Sort by column – [rank] for the new table.

    4. Result:

    Anonymous , You need to create sort column

     

    Example

    customer1 =[customer]

     

     

    customer Sort = Switch( [customer],

    "Samsung",1,

    "Hp",2,

    //Add other

     

    10)

     

    Mark customer sort as sort column of customer1 and use customer1 in visual

    Hi Peps,

     

    I'm trying to create a customer sort with the help of dimension table, it worked for number and text perfectly. What turns it down is when using a special charter as a parameter to sort, for instance when I'm trying to create a column "Day" which ranges from the -12 and +12 days from Presales (Day) it's not sorting as I expect it to be, though I've defined relationship with the base table and sort this table with "Sort Order"

     

     

    I'm getting something like below: 

     

     

    The outcome should be something like:

     

     

    Any help in this regards will be much appreciated!

     

    Thanks,

    Atul
