Pivot Chart sort by columns

Hi Anonymous ,

I have built a data sample. And according to my understanding, you may want to sort by X or Y or Z (Column Field) in matrix visual, right?

Currently, it could easily sort by Category(Row Field)or Sub-Total in matrix as you seen, only these two fields has sort icon:

In this case, you could replace the sub-total value by a measure to reach your requirement. Let's take how to sort by Y as an example:

1. Create a measure for Y sum:

Y Sum = CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Value]),FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Category]=MAX('Table'[Category]) && 'Table'[Sub-Type]="Y"))

2. Use HASONEVALUE() , ISINCOPE() to change the sub-total value and use rank number to sort the Y sum :

Sory by Y = IF(HASONEVALUE('Table'[Sub-Type]),SUM('Table'[Value]), IF(ISINSCOPE('Table'[Category]),RANKX(ALLSELECTED('Table'),[Y Sum],,ASC,Dense)))

The final output is shown below:
