Hi rquizon09,

What you need is a second column in your table that is just the number, formatted as a whole number. Then you can sort this Question No column by that new column.

Please let me know if you need more guidance.

Hi,

one of ways is to create a sort order column in power query editor.

Please check the below picture and the attached pbix file.

let Source = Data_source, #"Duplicated Column" = Table.DuplicateColumn(Source, "Question No.", "sort order"), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Duplicated Column","ItemNo.","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"sort order"}), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Replaced Value",{{"sort order", Int64.Type}}) in #"Changed Type"

rquizon09,

One way would be to create a new column in Power Query that replaces "ItemNo." with "", then converting the column to a whole number.

Jihwan_Kim shows that below as well.
