I have a database that has some "codes" that are from the Statement column. These codes, as in the first image, need to be in this sequence of PI-1, PI-2, PI-3... (I have 62 of these codes for each Area and Time = "Team" and english).
Ok, so far so good, but I wanted to make a matrix, based on these codes, and for some reason they come in alphabetical order (image 2).
I've tried everything but I haven't found a way to change this.
image 1 - correct order
image 2 - incorrect order
Resume: I need change the sequence order of the columns of image 2 to image 1.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi,
I am not sure how your semantic model looks like, but I think it helps to have sort order column for Statement column.
