Sort graph axis values (DAX generated)

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Aug 2022 07:55:57 GMT

Hello community,

I have created a Boxplot chart showing salary distribution per category. The categories are retrieved from a table that was created by DAX. As you can see in the photo, the categories order is random and I want to sort the categories so I have L3, L5, L6.

How can I do that?

Thanks in advance 🙂

Thank you for your feedback amitchandak

what I did to resolve this problem , is that i Created the ID column in the DAX code that I used to generate my table. By so doing, I have no dependency between category and ID_cat so. COnsequently, when I used sort column by ID_Cat it worked successfully.

Conclusion: try to avoid circular dependency
