I have a requirement where I have to sort the column based on 2 columns, so when ever the column is used to visualize it will be sorted.
So the problem is when i tried to sort the column value based on Sort, I am getting an error saying "There cant be more than one sortID for value". but when I check the data after adding the id filter i am getting the correct sorting for value.
Value SortID ID
Determine Fix 3 5257
Determine Fix 3 8062
Determine Fix 4 253
Determine Fix 6 106
Determine Fix 6 146
so is there any trick that i can apply when showing the data in a visual applying id filter so that i can get the correct sorting order.
Hi @Anonymous
The reason you're encountering this error is that there cannot be more than one "sortID" for the same "value." The "sortID" should be a unique identifier and cannot be used multiple times for the same "value." You need to ensure that each "value" has a distinct "sortID" assigned to it. Review your data and fix the duplicate "sortID" values for the same "value" by selecting one and modifying the others accordingly.
