Solved: Keep the cells in the same order

ss89 · ‎03-24-2023

Hello Community,

How can I have the same order in Power BI report maintained with respect to the excel file where the report is linked?

Many thanks for your support!

Recommend adding an index column to your Excel DataSource so it will retain the order you are requiring it to do so, then when you import into BI you can sort via the index.
