[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone, 

Requesting you post the solutin or any advice for the below question.

TABLE1

EMP ID	SALARY	SAVINGS	EXPENSES	TAX PAID
1	10000	1000	9000	500
2	5000	1500	3500	600
3	15000	5000	10000	700
4	8000	2400	5400	350
5	9000	3200	5700	550
6	7500	800	6700	700
7	6000	500	5500	800

Slicer 1

Metric (Drop down Silcer)

SALARY

SAVINGS

EXPENSES

TAX PAID

Slicer 2

Sort (Radio Button Slicer)

ASC

DSC

Above is the TABLE1 consists of Columns SALARY, SAVINGS, EXPENSES, TAXPAID and there need  two slicers like as above Slicer 1 and Slicer .

Now the requirement is if i select one Metric from Metric Slicer Ex. SAVINGS and selected ASC then the SAVINGS Column in the table should sort in Ascending order and if select DSC then it should sort in the Descending Order in the Same table without any Bookmarks. 

Finally based on the Selection of Metric in Metric Slicer and Selection of Sort Slicer the Metric Value in the Table should Sort Accordingly.

Help me out with  closest solution.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

You can try this measure

SORT =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer 2'[Sort] ),
    "ASC",
        SWITCH (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer 1'[Metric] ),
            "EXPENSES", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [EXPENSESASC] ),
            "SALARY", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [SALARYASC] ),
            "SAVINGS", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [SAVINGSASC] ),
            "TAX PAID", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [TAX PAIDASC] )
        ),
    "DSC",
        SWITCH (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Slicer 1'[Metric] ),
            "EXPENSES", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [EXPENSESDESC] ),
            "SALARY", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [SALARYDESC] ),
            "SAVINGS", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [SAVINGSDESC] ),
            "TAX PAID", SUMX ( 'TABLE1', [TAX PAIDDESC] )
        )
)

Hi @amitchandak Is there any solution for the same without using any Bookmarks?
