Sort column headers in Matrix Direct Query

[yacatac]

Try as I might, I can't find how to sort the column headers in a DirectQuery scenario.

I want them in descending order, i.e. 2019, 2018, 2017, etc, It's easy enough to sort by rows though...! 

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

Dear Yacatac,

@yacatac,

Add a custom column in Query Editor, then take advantage of Sort using the Sort by Column button.

Thanks. Appreciate your help. however I get a message to convert to an Import mode, which I don't want to do because of the amount of data.

I find it difficult to understand why it needs to be done that way though, when rows can be sorted so easily.

@yacatacI would also like to know if you figured anything out for this. I'm having the exact same issue 😞
