Formula to sort by accuracy (absolute error)
Hello everyone,
I need some help. Any advice will be appreciated, especially if someone can explain.
I have such a visualization.
I need to sort by lowest forecast accuracy. By saying this, I need to somehow take the forecast accuracy of 100% as the best one and to rank the ratio of Accuracy considering that items can be over and under forecasted. So 100.20 and 99.80 basically show that there is an error of 0.20% and it should be considered similar level issue.
Measure of Accuracy is 1-(FCST-ACTUALS)/FCST
Does someone know how i can sort it taking into consideration this absolute error...

Anonymous assuming that you don't want the absolute error to be shown in the visual, the only way I'm aware of with a table/matrix visual is described in the 2nd part of the article below. Basically involves creating a measure for sorting, adding to the visual, and adjusting the column width such that the column is no longer visible.
