Sorting Matrix Data Based on Slicer Selection

Madhu7624 — Tue, 14 Jan 2025 09:59:38 GMT

Hi Everyone,

I want to sort the data in a matrix in a specific order. When I select a value in the slicer.

Below is the raw data:

The matrix visual contains Product and Value [Measure].

Raw Data

Slicer

The order in which the products need to be sorted depends on the year value selected in the slicer.

Raw Data :

Table
Product	Year	Value
P3	2023	100
P2	2023	200
P1	2023	300
P8	2023	40
P6	2023	100
P1	2024	200
P3	2024	300
P2	2024	40
P14	2024	100
P12	2024	200

slicer : Year
2023
2024

Required order, when we click on slicer :

Order Required
2023	2024
Order	order
P1	P1
P2	P2
P3	P3
P6	P12
P8	P14

Hi Madhu7624 ,

Thanks for the reply from BeaBF .

First, create a calculated column to extract the number of products.

ProductNumber = VALUE( MID('Table'[Product],2,2) )

Then, create a calculated column to sort the numbers.

Order = RANKX( FILTER( 'Table', 'Table'[Year] = EARLIER('Table'[Year]) ), 'Table'[ProductNumber], , ASC, DENSE )

Please create a matrix visual object for display. Drag Oder to the rows, Year to the columns, and Product to the values. the final visual is shown below:

The pbix file is attached.

If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.

Anonymous Yes but the RANKX is significantly more computationally expensive and resource-intensive compared to a simple sort by column operation, I recommend to use my process.
