Dual sorting on Chart

Hi,

 

I have two tables,

1. Calendar

2. TblSales with 3 columns i.e. Date, Country & Sales Amount (with 3 months data in it.)

 

I have a clustered column chart in which I have put in Shared Axis,

"Date Hierarchy" from Calendar Table &

Country from "TblSales" Table.

 

In Column Values I have put Sales Amount from "TblSales" Table.

 

I want to sort this chart first on date as ascending and then on Sales Amount as descending.  I am able to achieve this in table visual, however I am unable to achieve it in chart visual.

 

Mentioned below is the sample data for TblSales. 

Date                 Country      Sales Amount
01-Jan-2021    US              100
01-Jan-2021    UK              150
01-Jan-2021    UAE            200
01-Feb-2021    US             500
01-Feb-2021    UK             450
01-Feb-2021    UAE           300
01-Mar-2021    US             820
01-Mar-2021    UK             850
01-Mar-2021    UAE           700

 

Best Regards,

Vikram.

Hi  @vikrammankar ,

After research, this seems to be impossible to achieve, because your [Country] field is grouped above the [Date] field, which means that there are multiple entries with the same [Country] in the table, so you cannot customize the sort order column to make [ Country] column is sorted by this [amount] column.

I would suggest you add it as an idea on Power BI Ideas to improve Power BI on this feature. vyangliumsft_1-1638927148729.png
