Helper IReordering values
You should create a simple lookup table. On the Home tab, look for the button "Enter Data". Creat a table with three rows:
High 1
Medium 2
Low 3
After that, set the Sort Order column of the text field above to the INT field in that table. Lastly, join that table to the table that contains those values. Display the Text from this table instead. Power BI will then sort them by the INT in this lookup table.
Another method: Create a calculated column in your table with something like this:
Priority Sort = IF [Priority] = "High", 1, IF ( [Priority] = Medium, 2....)
And sort Priority by Priority Sort.
Solution SageHi AmyD
Presuming you want to order fom Low to High
In the table add a new column
DAX: NewColumn
Priority Sort = if('priority' = "Low" , 1,
if('priority' = "Medium" , 2,
if('priority' = "High" , 3,0)
Mquery: Add New Column
if([priority] = "Low" then 1 else
if([priority] = "Medium" then 2 else
if([priority] = "High" then 3 else 0
After you have implemented either one, go to the Data View and highlight the priority column and click on Sort by Column and choose the priority sort. The visual should then change
