Hi,
I have created a Matrix with
- one value, the Qty
- two row dimensions, the category and the item id
There are three categories, A (most important), B (second most important) and C (other). There are multiple item id's within those categories.
I want my matrix to be sorted on two levels:
- First on category level (I use an index column to sort accordingly)
- Second on the items id's with the highest value within that category
The problem is that when I rank on highest value, the "Other" category shows up first, because it has the higest total value. But if I rank on the Category, the items within that category also rank alphabetically.
Is there any solution this problem? It may involve DAX.
Thanks!

@TomBI , In Matrix, You can not sort on more than one column. Only in table, you can do that
