Sorted datatable in visual " table"

I have a data table containing articecode podate netprice masternetprice 

I sorted this table on articlecode and podate by power query , its doing fine

Then i created calculated columns for previousnetprice and pricechange

When i see the table from query its correct

But when i drag the data in visual " table" sorting by podate within article code is not maintained 

 

 

1 articlecode can have multiple podates

 

Please suggest .

Thanks

Hi @rachnajn28 ,

Please have a try.

Sort a table by multiple columns in Power BI is to use the Sort By option in the ellipsis menu of the table visual. You can select Sort By -> Sort Columns and then choose the columns you want to sort by and their order. You can also change the sort direction from ascending to descending or vice versa.

in visual and in power query table is showing data in perfect order, but when i create index  either in power query or DAX  - as i want indexing for articlecode and on MRINDate within Articlecode, index value is jumping.

 

articlecode  MRINDate        Indexcol     required

11-101-004  15 April 2022    2               1

11-101-004   21 April 2022     2              2

11-101-004   04 July 2022      6             3

                      13 August 2022     8         4

                       17 August 2022    5         5

                        08 October 2022  6

                         14 November     7

then till 13 it's fine 

                        07 April 2023      28     14

                        08 April 2023      15      15

rest is ok  for this Articlecode but whenever any Articlecode has more MRINdates its' jumping

whenever articlecode changes it'  resetting the value to 1, that's fine

Sort the table in table view the same way as done in power query. There is also the option to sort by column, so the choice can be made to sort on column of choosing.
