Sort Issue

[Anonymous]

Hi, 
I am trying to sort a filter that has text. I want to sort it ascending wise. 
I have assigned a new column number and gave each value a number. But I still can't sort it 


the code:

Number = SWITCH (
TRUE (),
'Won_count'[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] = "under $25k", 1,
'Won_count'[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] = "$25Kto$50K", 2,
'Won_count'[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] = "50Kto$100K", 3,
'Won_count'[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] = "$100Kto500K", 4,
'Won_count'[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] = "$500Kto1Million", 5,
'Won_count'[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] = "$1 Million and Over", 6,
10
)

Hi @Anonymous ,

We suggest you to create a new Won_count table with unique values. And then create a one-to-many relationship with the original table.

You can refer the following steps.

1. Create a new table.

Table = DISTINCT(Won_count)

2. Then create the relationship.

3. Create a slicer using Table[WonOppsSoftAmountLast1Yr_filter] and sort by number.

If it doesn’t meet your requirement, could you please show the exact expected result based on the table that you have shared?

Hi @Anonymous ,

In the Data View.

Select the Column Software Amount Last Type,  click on Sort By Column and Sort it by Number

@harshnathani ,
the column software amt last is already sort by itself. If I try to change the sorting from Sort by Column, I get below error:

@parry2k 
the sort column was grayed out initially. I have moved the column "number" to filters.
I still cannot select anything under sort by column. the drop-down menu does not show up

@parry2k ,
if I check this in data; below is the sorting criteria but nothing works

@parry2k 
do I need to add the column "number" (where I have assigned all the numbers based on sorting ) in any of these 
fields.
