Sorting matrix table

Hi everyone,

 

I have a matrix table with a 4-level hierarchy (so four columns in the 'Rows' section): Customer name and Date.
The first column is Customer name which is sorted alphabetically ascending.
The other 3 columns I need sorted descending.

So the desired sort order would be like this:

- Customer A
     - A3
          01-03-2024
          01-12-2023
          01-06-2023
          01-10-2022
     + A2
     - A1
          01-06-2019
          01-04-2019
          01-03-2019
          01-10-2018
+ Customer B
+ Customer C

 

How can this be achieved?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

  • Hi GKJARC 
    You need a "sort column" for every hierarchy level in your table with the needed order and sort the columns from the data view:

    For a date column, you should use a date table create the column with the numeric date value and multiply it to (-1):

    Result :

    pbix is attached

  • Ritaf1983 This works, thank you very much!
    Be aware though that Number.From([Date]) doesn't always work well with datetime. For datetime I ended up using this SQL to get an inverted number from date: DATEDIFF(MINUTE, EE.ENTRYDATE, '2099-12-31T23:59:59') AS DateInvertedSorting
