I will give it a try with adding a column. Is there a way to do this without changing the source data, via measures?

@dokat , Create this as new column and mark it as a sort column of 'P&L'[P&L]

 

Rearrange Rows = switch(('P&L'[P&L]),"Volume Sales",1,"Gross Sales",2,"Trade Discounts",3,"Off Invoice Sales",4,"BDF(includes rebates)",5,"Customer NS",6,"ANSP(Cents)",7,"Total Cost of Goods-MGT",8,"Customer P&L - Gross Profit",9)

In actual table there are more rows that i shared on the sample data. In the query editor raw table there are total of 15 rows. If i just code the 9 it won't work.
