Hi All,

 

I have this requirement of sort by measure not displayed in the chart/table. For example, In the graph i want to display a calculated measure (premium) by states but sort the chart by YOY growth which is a calculated field. YOY growth should not be displayed in the chart.  Is there any way to to this? 

 

Thanks in advance.

    No. You may be able to creat a calc column instead and sort the descriptor by that column. But this would ly work if the sort column and the descriptor column has a 1:1 mapping. Plus it is a full override - you can't later decided you want to sort alphabetical.
