Sort one column by another - messy data
This is the opposite of what you asked in the original question 🙂
And it's solvable. Here are the steps you need to take:
1. From PQ duplicate table :
2. Remove all the columns except 2 needed :
3. Remove duplicates from output description:
4. Filter out "null" (if you have)
5. Close and apply
6. create a relationship between the sort table and the main table
7. In the sorting table apply a wanted sorting logic :
8. Use the sorting table as a slicer, it will filter the main table due to their relationship :
The pbix is attached

Ritaf1983 , I would like the order of values in my slicer to sort by the output (numerical value) and not by the output_description (text value). Here is an image of my current problem, as you can see, 13 comes after 1290
