Sort by Column Date in reverse order
i ended up going to Power Query, grouping the Dates together. adding an Index to the individual dates, then expanding the 'table' for the group and selecting the columns to bring in, every distinct date got a distinct rank starting with latest date first...
What does your source data look like? Is that a Matrix visual? If that data is a single column that is in the Columns area of a matrix visualization, you could use a Sort By field to reverse sort it.
THANKS, i was able to create a sort order by using the RANK function in Dax. It allows my most current date to have the 1 value and using DENSE option, gives each distinct Date value a rank, starting with newest date as 1 and working backwards...
NOW, i am trying to Sort my Date column by the new calculated column, BUT, i keep getting the message, "This column cant be sorted... (see screenshot)" . i removed previous sort columns, Power Query doesnt have a sort for this column, how do i resolve. thanks
