Sorting Data Manually

Hi!

 

How do I sort a stacked bar chart by age group in ascending order? 

From Below 18 Years old to 65+ Years old?

 

Thanks!

    I take it you've created those "Bins" with a conditional column

    I'm calling this column Category in the image below

    Then I use it to create another Column called Custom Sort which we'll use to sort the Bars

    See image below - let me know if you have any questions...

    Hope this helps! :smileyhappy:

     

    EDIT: I've used the Query Editor for both columns

    but you can use SWITCH statements (nested IFs) to get the same results with DAX created columns! :smileyhappy:

    Click the ellipses ... in the top right corner of the Visual - Sort By

      I already tried it but the result looks like this:


       

      In my mind it shoutd be:

      Below 18 Years Old

      18-24 Years Old

      25-34 Years Old

      35-44 Years Old

      45-54 Years Old

      55-64 Years Old

      65+ Years Old

       

      is there a way to manually sort it?

       

      Thanks!
