Get Name on x -axis after creating custom column with ranking

I created a custom column with follwing order since i want the bars to order up in particular sequence:

 

 "Below 10th",- 1
"10th",- 2
"Diploma",- 3
 "12th",- 4
 "Grad", -5
 "Postgrad", - 6

 

Now my issue is how can I get the names in the x -axis as now I am getting the numbers in x -axis. Can anyone help me how can I achieve this?

Hi @powerbidev123 

Use your text field in the bars as normal.

Add the above custom column as a tooltip instead.


You can sort charts using fields in the tooltip 🙂
