Hello everyone,

 

How can i sort a bar chart depending on slicer selection?

 

xumbinho_0-1652865572209.png

I mean if i select in slicer "Sum of IDADE" i want the sort descending from the values, and if i select in slicer "Sum of ALTURA" i want the sort descending. Or if i Select All just let the sort descending from Sum of ALTURA values.

 

Is this possible?

 

Thanks.

Hi  @Anonymous ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Use Enter data to create a table as a slicer.

2. Create measure.

Flag =
SWITCH(
   TRUE(),
    MAX('Slicer'[ALTURA.IDADE])="Sum of IDADE",CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[CA]=MAX('Table'[CA]))),
    MAX('Slicer'[ALTURA.IDADE])="Sum of ALTURA",CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[CA]=MAX('Table'[CA]))),
    MAX('Slicer'[ALTURA.IDADE])="ALL",
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Amount]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Group]="ALTURA"&&'Table'[CA]=MAX('Table'[CA]))))
rank =
RANKX(ALL('Table'),[Flag],,DESC)

3. Put [Rank] on the Tooltips of the bar graph.

4. Sort axis – [Rank] – Sort descending.

That's not what i pretend. 

I want the sort descending from the values, and if i select in slicer "Sum of ALTURA" i want the sort descending depending on that value. Or if i Select All just let the sort descending from Sum of ALTURA values.
