Hi
I would like to know how you can sort rows descending based on the results obtained by a measure. It works fine if I change the Matrix to a table. However, in a matrix the value (%) seems to ignore the (-) sign. I tried removing the subtotal but it does not make a difference.
Most solutions I have seen all refer to columns or going into power query, but havent been lucky enough to a solution for the above.
Best Regards,
Axiomite
Solved! Go to Solution.
I figured out I cannot filter the way I want in a Matrix when there is more than one row. It is almost the same as not being able to filter on a pivot. Nevertherless, the client accepted a table visuals, thus no subtotals.
We need a file with this issue inside to actually be able to troubleshoot.
thanks for your reply, I figured out I cannot filter the way I want in a Matrix when there is more than one row. It is almost the same as not being able to filter on a pivot. Nevertherless, the client accepted a table visuals, thus no subtotals.
@Axiomite , Are you also using a column, if now, can you try to resort to using three dots. If you use column, it will sort only on column grand total
