Hi everyone,
I have a matrix table with a 2-level hierarchy (so two columns in the 'Rows' section): Customer name and Date.
Customer name is sorted alphabetically ascending.
Date I need sorted descending so that the latest date appears at the top.
So the desired sort order would be like this:
| Customer name, Date |
| - Customer A |
| 01-03-2024 |
| 01-12-2023 |
| 01-06-2023 |
| 01-10-2022 |
| + Customer B |
| + Customer C |
How can this be achieved?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks @samratpbi for your reply.
I'm affraid my post lacked the important detail that the hierarchy can have up to 4 levels and only the first level should be sorted Ascencing, the others should sort Descending so the latest on top like this:
| - Customer A |
| - A3 |
| 01-03-2024 |
| 01-12-2023 |
| 01-06-2023 |
| 01-10-2022 |
| + A2 |
| - A1 |
| 01-06-2019 |
| 01-04-2019 |
| 01-03-2019 |
| 01-10-2018 |
| + Customer B |
| + Customer C |
Hi, I have created 1 sample table like below:
Then after putting values in a matrix visual, applied this sort option:
As you may see, Customers are asc and dates under a customer are desc.
If this resolves your proble, then please mark it as solution, Thanks!
