Sort matrix by a column and not the total

I have a matrix that is spread out over a few months, what i would like to do is sort by "December", and not have to sort by the total column. Is there a way to do this?

Hi @analyst312 ,

 

Currently, matrix visualisation is missing this functionality. But follow the following thread, there is a workaround to achieve this using a slicer:

If this helps please give Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

 

Thanks,

I think you just need to click on the December column to sort it, right?

I believe you mistook months as rows instead of column values.

Appreciate that @VasTg but no, for some reason I was thinking Table visual!!
