Hello,
I have been trying to find a solution to this for a long time.
Is there any way to be able to sort the columns inside a matrix? In some cases, when using dates as columns, I would like to be able to group the data by value type instead of having the different values mixed within each day.
I attach an image to make it much clearer.
Is there any way to do that easily?
Thank you very much
Hi @Biome
For Sort Column
Yes please create a column for sort https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-sort-by-column?tabs=powerbi-deskto...
In matrix visual, there are drill down button. Please use the drill down button to group
Let me know if that works for you

Hello @PijushRoy thank for your reply.
I can't see that option when selecting the matrix. Maybe I should enable it first somehow?
Thanks
Hi @Biome
Can you please share a screenshot for which fields you enter in matrix Row, Column and Value

Hello @PijushRoy
That's not exactly what I need.
I just want to sort value columns like in my example.
I want to have conversion columns toguether and the same for spend.
Splitting them by date but not alternating conversion-spend-conversion-spend, etc
