Power BI Desktop - Sort stack chart by month and by totals

Dear all,

 

I haven't had lucky in finding a solution for this question:

 

- I want to sort a stacked chart by month (it is already working) and then sort the stacks by totals (in ascending order).

 

Below is a print screen of the chart I want to modify:

Could I have your help on this question?

 

Thank you 

Marcelo

Please try the Ribbon Chart instead.  It sorts the stacked bars in each month.  You can change the look of the bars and ribbons in the settings.

 

If this works for you, please mark it as solution.  Kudos are appreciated too.  Please let me know if not.

Regards,

Pat

Hi Pat,

 

This is a great suggestion. The ribbon chart is much more interesting considering all its addtional calculations like the total change and raking.

 

Here is the result:
