How to Make Custom Sort of Value from Many Column/Many Parameters on different chart?

Hi all, 

 

I have a set of Data with 9 Column, each column has value of:

a. Very Not Confident
b. Not Confident
c. Confident
d. Very Confident

 

This is the example of the table:

2ConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfident
3Not ConfidentNot ConfidentNot ConfidentNot ConfidentNot ConfidentNot ConfidentNot ConfidentNot ConfidentNot Confident

13Not ConfidentNot ConfidentConfidentNot ConfidentConfidentNot ConfidentConfidentConfidentNot Confident
14Not ConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfidentConfident

 

I want to Visualize on PowerBI Chart. If i import the data in powerBI i will have the table:

billysagala_0-1616437317874.png

 I need to make Chart from each parameter/Column:

billysagala_1-1616437455472.png

I would like to custom the sorting to be:

a. Very Not Confident
b. Not Confident
c. Confident
d. Very Confident

 

It is possible to have the custom also applied on Chart forB, C, D, E, F,G,H,I?

 

Thank you.

Hello @Anonymous ,

 

unfortunately yes.

You can also add calculated columns and mark them as sort by column with Tabular Editor, this might be a little faster than with the Power BI editor.

 

If you need any help please let me know.

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

yes, you can do that with a sort by column:

Sort By Month Names In Power BI (c-sharpcorner.com)

 

But you have to have an own sort by column for each column (A to I).

 

If you need any help please let me know.
