Hello!

I have two main datasets connected by relationships through separate tables for specific features. Is there any way to sort my power pivot from highest to lowest value with using measure? Expected result as below. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi @harry6810 ,

 

We can create a rank measure.

index =
RANKX ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Units], MAX ( 'Table'[Units] ), DESC, DENSE )

Then the result is as follows.

If the above one can't help you get the desired result, please provide some sample data in your tables (exclude sensitive data) with Text format and your expected result with backend logic and special examples. It is better if you can share a simplified pbix file. Thank you.

 

Best Regards,

Once you have multiple measures on columns in a pivot, you can't sort them. You could try removing all measures except the one you want to sort, sort it first, then add the others. I don't know if it will work. You may be able to write a DAX query to produce the output and sort that. Here are some articles I wrote that may help
