Modeling Read Only Fields

‎02-24-2021 07:18 AM

Our company utilizes a dataset where the fields are read only and I do not have access to the columns. When a value needs additional modeling, I can create a dax that allows me change the format...........   Net Sal $ = [Net Sales Amount]

 

My workday field is sorted incorrectly and I need a Dax that will allow me to change the format. Any suggestions on what to utilize when the field is not a value?

 

Thank you!

Hi @Thackeb ,

 

What is the format of your current workday field, and what kind of result do you want to get? Can you provide some screenshots, please hide sensitive data.

 

Did you try this option in the visual?

@Thackeb what is the ask here, it is not clear:

 

My workday field is sorted incorrectly and I need a Dax that will allow me to change the format. Any suggestions on what to utilize when the field is not a value?

 

It is a sorting issue or a format issue.

Yes, it's a filter/format issue on the columns, that I do not have access to.
