Power BI Table Not Sorting

Hi,

 

This is possibly a very basic question.  Im very new to BI and setting up a simple table with metrics down the side.  However i want it to be in a specific order.

 

I set up an order data source which has the correct order, tried to link the two, however my table still is showing the metrics in alphabetical order.   It doesnt appear to be recognising my new

  • Normally you would be using measures for aggregations. For example,
    Sales = SUM(Table[Sales])

    You can then add the measures to the visual. The order is established by the order in the Values bucket. 

    But it would really help if you could post a depiction (screenshot, mockup in Excel...) of what you are hoping to achieve

    Any chance you can provide sample data or a PBIX file and a depiction of the expected output?

    Hi,

     

    So i would want 

    Sales

    Revenue

    EBITDA

     

    However its showing as EBITDA, Revenue, Sales

     

    I set up an order mapping where it says Sales 1, Revenue 2, EBITDA 3.  However i wasnt sure what to do next and my table still appears alphabetically.
