DAX formula for reordering the legend not working

ccoslow — Fri, 13 Sep 2019 23:25:52 GMT

Hi All,

I'm attempting to reorder a legend on one of my visuals using a DAX formula from this tutorial:

https://www.seerinteractive.com/blog/reorder-powerbi-legend/

But even though I've followed the tutorial to a science, it's still not reordering my legend. The last three legend items are fine, it's just the "10>" should be at the end. Any ideas about why this might not be working? I've playhed around with the relationship details and nothing has changed. Below are screenshots of the visual and my "Sort" query.

Hi, if you have done everything according to that tutorial, it should work. If you could share a sample of your file, it will be easier to see what's happening.

Hi, ccoslow

It looks like you are orderng by value, not by "order" column

are you sure you have no excessive spaces in "10>" text?

Hello! Thank you both for your help. I realized it wasn't changing the legend order because I had two fields in the legend column, not just value. It's the small things that often get us! :)
