Hello,
still looking for a solution how to sort line chart like that:
So as you can see i can sort by Date Hierarchy which is nice.
But Legend is sorted alphabetically, not by Y-Axis values (costs).
But I can not sort by Legend and some kind of measures to be sorted and applied.
Any magician can help?
How to write Daxes to achove it?
O maybe there is some other visual which will handle it for me (free one).
Will be very greatuful!
This is my model:

Hi @jaryszek
Unfortunately, sorting Legends by Y-axis values is not supported on the default tooltips for the visuals.
You can create a custom tooltip and use it as sorted by y-axis values.
I created a Custom tooltip page with Date and Legend and values.
Sorted the table visual on custom tooltip by Sum of Cos in billing currency.
Added this custom tooltip as a tooltip on the line chart.
When you hove, you see legend values are in descending ouder of y-axis values.
Just adding a small video to showcase ow it will change with X-axis granularities but still maintain the legend sorting by values.
I am also attaching the PBIX file download link here.
Hope this solution helps.
thank you, no possible to add some measure to do this?
Let me keep this topic open.
Best,
Jacek
