Sort by Measure (Pareto)?

‎06-07-2016 04:17 PM

I am using the Line/Column chart as a pareto.  My problem is that it is not sorting correctly.  When I try to change the sort column for the x axis value Category, the Pareto column is not an option?

click on the 3 dots at the top right of the chart and click on sort by (whatever the measure is called).

// if this is a solution please mark as such. Kudos always appreciated.
