    Then create a calculated column in original table with following formula.

    Column = RELATED( Table2[ID] )

     

    At last, select the Type column and make it sorted by above created column.

     

     

    Best Regards,

Since I'm unfamiliar with this, I'm getting stuck at adding a new column and referencing the ID column from the newly created table. 

 

Here is where I am: 

 

1. Added a new table with Risk and ID columns:

Any advice?
