How sort Switch column values with other order column in power bi

[Gopal_PV]

Hi Friends,

I have imported snowflake view in to Power bi. Now I have created new column using switch for Bucket list of units. Now i want to  order the same bucket list. I want to use same bucket for slicer.
DIY, Small,Medium, Enterprise,DG Enterprise. I Want this same order for slicer.

Units_Bucket =

SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

    -- Non-DG buckets

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] < 25, "DIY",

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] <= 50, "Small",

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] <= 300, "Medium",

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] <= 1000, "Large",

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] > 1000, "Enterprise",

    -- PMI special case

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] = "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] > 1000, "PMDGIDG Enterprise",

    -- Everything else DG (≤1000) → excluded

    "Excluded"

)

--------------

Units_Bucket_Order =

SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "DIY", 1,

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "Small", 2,

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "Medium", 3,

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "Large", 4,

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "Enterprise", 5,

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "DG Enterprise", 6,

    'Unit'[Units_Bucket] = "Excluded", 7

)
Now i am triying to sort Units_bucket  by Bucker Order.
Facing below error. Can you please help me in this.

- Create a lookup table with unique bucket names and order:
- DIY → 1
- Small → 2
- Medium → 3
- Enterprise → 4
- DG Enterprise → 5

- Fix naming in your SWITCH logic so it matches the lookup table exactly.

- Sort the lookup table’s Units_Bucket column by Bucket_Order.

- Use the lookup table’s Units_Bucket in your slicer for correct order and clean filtering.

Let me know if you want a one-table workaround or multilingual slicer support too.

Hi Add the belwo as different dataset in Power BI report

Bucket	ID
DIY	1
Small	2
Medium	3
Large	4
Enterprise	5
DG Enterprise	6
Excluded	7

 Then join the Bucket with your main data , 

Goto Data Tab

Click on Newly added dataset 

Click on BUcket Column->Sort based on ID

Without sample data, I can only suggest ot rewrite the column

Units_Bucket_Order =

SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

    -- Non-DG buckets

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] < 25, 1,

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] <= 50, 2,

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] <= 300, 3,

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] <= 1000, 4,

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] <> "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] > 1000, 5,

    -- PMI special case

    'Unit'[Parent_Name] = "DG" &&

    'Unit'[PERIOD_UNITS] > 1000, 6,

    -- Everything else DG (≤1000) → excluded

    7

)

And try again the sorting, if it does not work, please upload the pbix in a cloud service and share here the link so I can inspect it and fix

If this helped, please consider giving kudos and mark as a solution
