Decomposition tree sort variables and increase node width

I am using Direct query and have a decomposition tree like below.

1. I want the variable Year to be sorted in ascending order by year and not the number of sales in year. So in the example the results should be shown in the Year column in the order of 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023.

 

2. how to increase the width of nodes so that City_ company_level_1 and City_ company_level_2 headings will be shown in full rather than having ...

Hello @clarkson106 

 

if this is what you want, 

Daniel29195_0-1707138825076.png

 

 

you need to do the following : 

 

1. create w calculated column to rank the years . 

2. create a second caluclated column to rank the sales ( in each year ) 

 

create a third caluclated column to concatenate the 2 previosuly created columns .

in the decomposition tree, add this measure in the tooltip ,

then you order by this column .

@clarkson106 

keep in mind, that if you want the ranking to change base on your slicers, 

you need to create the sortings as measures not calucalted columns .

Thanks @sayaliredij. Sorry I had not made it clear in my post. So what I want is, whenever the variable Year is added into the tree it should be displayed as 2018, 2019, 2020 so on. But the other variables should be displayed sorted by the number of Sales. If I go with your suggestion of sorting by year, then all other variables are also sorted by year. I only want Year to be sorted by year and all other variables to be sorted by the number of sales. Is this possible?
