Sorting Data when you've duplicate regions in another column

[utkarshsingh3]

Hello! I have 3 columns in a table. First column is Order, Second is Regions and Third is Regions groups (I have grouped US East, West, Central and National as US All Entities). Now, when I try to sort the data by First Column "Order". It's not letting me to sort the data. I want to sort the data by Order.

.Table - I want to sort the data by OrderError

You can't sort that as there multiple orders values for US All Entities for that create another column for each reporting region group assign unique number in that column

Hi, 

Thanks for the solution @mh2587  provided, and i want to offer some more informaiton for user to refer to.

hello @utkarshsingh3 , based on your description, you can create a new table.

Table 2 = SUMMARIZE('Table',[Reporting Region(groups)],"Order",MIN('Table'[Order]))

Then click the group column and select sort by order in the new table, and create a relationship between tables.

Best Regards!
