Date in Matrix Column how to sort ascending
- 2 years ago
Hi santoshlearner2
For sorting the dates in descending order you need to have the column with its numeric value multiplied by (-1).
To attach it from the date table that was made with pq you can
1. duplicate the date column2. change the data type to whole number:
3. multiply it by (-1)
Close and apply, and modify the date sort by this new column from the table view :
Result :
Unfortunately, I couldn't find a solution for the scenario where you're using a calendar created with DAX. However, that type of calendar is less flexible. I recommend using a PQ calendar instead. I've attached a sample file for your reference. You can find more information about PQ calendars, including a script for creation, in the link.
