I need to show highest values on bottom and lowest values on Top in a line chart.

Hi All,

         I have created a line chart using my data. I have taken the dates on X axis and took values in Y axis as shown in below picture. Here my requirement is to show highest values on bottom and lowest values on Top which i am not able to it on the chart as it is not showing sorting. When i remove the date on X axis and put some other text value i am able to sort the visual. Can we use any measue or calculated column for this? Can you guys help me out in this issue. Thanks in advance.5.PNG

Create measure to convert all positive values to Negative values as shown in below measure

Invert_SFR = Weekly_SFR[SFR_Calc]*-1
Then click on that measure and goto Measure tools and there in format add this code = #,##;#,##
after adding this the negative sign will disappear and the highest values shows on bottom and lowest values on Top in a line chart as shown in below picture.4.PNG

@Anonymous - I would start with a Top N filter. If that is not sufficient, use something like a Complex Selector to be very specific. https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/The-Complex-Selector/m-p/1116633#M534

Brilliant! Been racking my brain for weeks till I gave up.

FYI - this neat, simple solution is a great improvement to my bump chart (as instructed by Ruth Pozuelo):
