Hi @rohanazad94 ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

1.Then text type column sorts in alphabetical order by default. If you want it so sort in a custom order, add a custom column in Power Query.

Rank = if [Scores] = "M" then 1 else if [Scores] = "B" then 2 else if [Scores] = "S" then 3 else 4

Then in Desktop, select Scores column, then click Sort by column>Rank.

2.Conditional formatting is not allowed in slicer by default, you can only use it in other visuals, like table visual.

Color =
SWITCH (
    MAX ( 'Table'[Scores] ),
    "M", "Green",
    "B", "Yellow",
    "S", "Purple",
    "T", "Red"
)

Select the visual, then in visual formatting pane, under Cell elements, turn on the Backgroud color.

Select the measure in the dialoge.

Hey @rohanazad94 ,

 

I'm unaware of any custom visual that provides the capability you are looking for. The default Slicer visual does not support this capability.

 

Regards,

Tom
