Hi all,
I need some help with sorting the categorical(text) column. is there any way to sort the value in one column in order?
Less than 5,
6 - 10,
11 - 20
...
over 500
I have tried switch(true() ....) to make a new column and sort by the new column, it's not working.
Many thanks!!
HI @Anonymous ,
I'm assuming that the groups you have here represent a column on your data, correct?
Create a table with the following data:
| Category | Sort |
| Less than 5 | 1 |
| 6-10 | 2 |
| 11-20 | 3 |
| 21-50 | 4 |
| 51-100 | 5 |
| 101-500 | 6 |
| Over 500 | 7 |
Use the sort column to sort the category and relate this table with the column on your data table.
Then just use this table on your graph.
