Sorting Problem with million format

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

I am new here and have a problem with sorting a table. I created a Measure to format the numbers in million. For example if I have 1.000.000 it should show 1m. I made this with this measure: 

= Format(sum(Basis[Expenses in USD]);"#,##,,.0m")

Now, when I'd like to sort my table (with Filter top 5) it is in the wrong order; Sweden should be the last one. 

Can someone help me?

Hi @Anonymous,

As what @FrankAT mentioned, FORMAT function returns a string so your millions are not sorted by the number value but alphabetically.  You may follow what he suggested.

Hi @Anonymous ,

the FORMAT function returns a string. Use the format settings in model view, see figure:

Hi @FrankAT,

thank you for your help. I changed the Format in Model and it works now. I have another problem. Now it does not show me numbers like 0,12. It shows only a 0. I use the following format: #,##0,,."m". I tried to adjust the Format with 0,00 but it doesnt work.

Any suggestions? Excel is much more easier for me ^^.

Thank you in advance
