Sort Calculated Column by Some Index

[gussie]

Hello, 

I keep getting this error - I am truing to sort customer lifespan by days active - however it keeps coming up with this error above.

Can anyone help me with this issue? 

The calculated column is in dax -->

years_months_days_active = 

VAR days = dim_account[Query1.days_active]

VAR years = ROUNDDOWN(days / 365, 0)

VAR days_remainder_year = MOD(days, 365)

VAR months = ROUNDDOWN(days_remainder_year / 30, 0)

VAR days_remainder_months = MOD(days_remainder_year, 30)

RETURN

SWITCH(

 TRUE(),

 days = BLANK() || days_remainder_months = 0, BLANK(),

 years = 0 && months = 0, days_remainder_months & "d",

 years = 0, months & "m " & days_remainder_months & "d",

 years & "y " & months & "m " & days_remainder_months & "d"

)

Hi  @gussie  ,

I used your calculated column and created the following data:

1. Click [customer lifespan], select Column tools – Sort by column – [Query1.days_active]

2. Result：

My data will be sorted correctly

Is your Power bi Desktop version the latest version, can you share sample data and sample output in table format? Or a sample pbix after removing sensitive data.

@gussie , this means you have one value for which you have more than one sort index.

Refer my video where I discussed these issues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK1zu4MBb-c
