    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    we can keep origin column as text type, then create a new calculate column as decimal number

     

    rank = VALUE('Table'[Order Number])

     

    Then put the new column into the tooltips field of chart.

     

     

    At last we can sort by this rank column to meet your requirement.

     

     

     

     

    BTW, pbix as attached.

      Hi,

       

      The X asix of graph shows number

      0.5  0.7  1  1.5 10  12  14  16  18  2  20 . . .

       

      I want the number order like

       0.5  0.7  1  1.5  2  3  4 . . . 10 11 12 13 . . . 20 21 22 . . .

      like number ascending , Does it now make sense?

       

      thank you,

      CL

        First of all, check, if this field is marked as a number in the data model, or can you make it as a number. Will that work out? (or Do you want to make it a number)

         

        Else you need to have a new column in number format. refer 

        https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dax/value-function-dax

         

        and define that column as a sort column for this one.
