Hi Anonymous 

 

You may use Sort by column for Account Subgroup column like below.

    Cherie,

     

    The sort by column button is greyed out for me so that I cannot select it.  I should also reiterate that I am using a matrix, which might have different rules for use with regard to sorting, no?

     

    I did find information out there on how to sort on a hidden column for a "Table" visualization and a "Chart" visualization, but not for a "Matrix" visualization.

     

    Please let me know.


    Thanks.

        None of these suggestions work.

         

        After much research by my boss and I, we are going to have Microsoft get involved and tell us how to make this work.

         

        I simply want to sort by a hidden column in a Matrix.  I should be able to add a column field to the Matrix, or a query, or a Dax created field, and sort it, then somehow hide it.
