Power BI Sorting

Hi everyone,

 

I'm creating a report with filtering, plots and statistics and I am facing one issue. How to sort X axis in the scatter plot ?

I'm creating a Scatter plot from scratch and on X axis I have Iteration paths and my Y axis is Cycle times for items. I have sorted Iteration paths in Column, in the filter and on the plot, but in reality it is not. I'm providing a 2 screenshots, one is filter sorting and the other one is plot in reality.

Thank you in advance

 

P.S. Sorted on the plot as well. Three dots Sort by ascending or descending.

Hi @SyVe ,

 

Since the sort order in slicer seems customize, we think you have sort the x-axis by another sort column properly. Could please check if the scatter chart is sort by the x-axis? Or  try to reproduce the same issue on the sample file we shared?

This is a text column and if and if you do not want change sort column, you need to create a sort column for this column and mark that as sort column for that

Sort Asc and Sort desc should sort otherwise.
