Possible to sort by at every sequence in an Tree decomposition?

 

My issue is that I really want to use the Tree decomposition visual to make a deep data dive effect, to find the root of a case!.

As you can see below the tree always picks the highest count value and place it above. Instead, I really want to be able to set specific sort by for every sequence. In this case, I will sort by year so 2020 will be highest and decline. After that, I will introduce months and I want them to be in order responding to its month number, so January, Feb etc. etc. The reason I want this is that I want to make the same user format no matter what year you pick! It really helps user-friendliness to not have the month and years switch places all the time depending on its values!. I also will be able to sort by "count value" when we are at employee level, which in my case is the lowest level "farthest to the right" in the tree. Just so we can see who is the main reason for the high number.

 

Hope you can help me with this issue 😄 would be so awesome to solve it!

  • Hi Anonymous ,

    In the visual of Decomposition Tree, we only can sort by the high value or low value. It is not supported to sort by other ways. You can vote up the idea: Decomposition Sort Order and submit the comments to make Power BI better.

      Thanks for the fast respond 🙂 but the date is in the colomn already, its the reason why in picture it can devide the numbers in each respective years 🙂 the issue is that every time I expand the tree with a new variable I need to change what it should be sort by 🙂 sometimes by year, month, highest value etc.
