Custom legend by DAX measure
Hello everyone,
I have been working with multidimension data source in Power BI. With live connect, all the functions as create column/table/sort column or even data field are hidden in Power BI desktop.
I have a clustered column chart now, I want to sort the legend from left to right with Monat 3, then Monat 2, Monat 1, and last will be Actual date. But I can just only can use creating DAX measure to do this sort as all other functions are hidden. I do not know which DAX measure I should write in this case to reorder the positions of these column. I tried Switch measure, but then cannot drag this to legend field.
Anyone can help me in this case?
Thanks so much for your helps!
ThuJa23 , Legend can be sorted ascending or on the sort column, but that you have to do in your tabular model.
In case you need measures, you need to create 4 measures and put them in the order you want.

ThuJa23 , Ypu Can create like
New measure
Monat -3 = calculate([Measure], filter(Table, Table[Legend column] = "Monat -3")
Legend column is a column used in the legend
Measure is existing measure

you can write separate measures for all your categories and then put them in the chart in the order you want
