Resorting age group buckets

Hello all,

I have a pie chart showing invoice amounts by by age group Current, 31-60, 61-90, 91-20 and over 120. Unfortunately, on my visualization, those buckets are out of order. Is there a way I can fix this to show in order?

The easiest way would be to add a "1", "2", etc, to the labels.

But a neater way would would be to add a sort column. Here, you would add a new column next to each of the labels, such as Current being 1, and 31-60 being 2, etc. You can do that using SWITCH.

 

So the calculated column would be:

 

Sort column = SWITCH 'table name' [Age group], "Current","1",31-60","2", etc.

 

Then click on "Age group" field, and then click on sort by column, and then click on your new sort column. That should do it.
