Helper VSorting a Stacked Bar Chart with Switch Measures
I have a stacked bar chart which displays data using two different measures (Head Count and EFTSL) and I can flip from one to the other using a switch in a Chiclet slicer.
In the chart I use this measure in the X-axis;
EFTSL/HC = IF (
HASONEVALUE ( 'SWITCH_Measures'[SWITCH Measures] ),
SWITCH (
FIRSTNONBLANK ( 'SWITCH_Measures'[SWITCH Measures], 1 ),
"Head Count",
DISTINCTCOUNT( 'F - Enrolment Fact'[Person Identifier] ),
"EFTSL", SUM ( 'F - Enrolment Fact'[EFTSL] ),
BLANK ()
),
BLANK ()
)
Now the chart is supposed to sort the bars by the total value of each bar, which it will do fine if I don’t put a legend in, but I need to use a legend and then it gets a bit confused somewhere.
Do you have any suggestions as to anything I could try?
Thank you!

DHB , Have you tried Switch using field parameters? And check if that suites to your requirements better

In the end using Count instead of DistinctCount fixed it for me. I think the distinct count was a problem once I threw a legend into the chart. Without the legend either type of count was fine. Thanks for the new method of switching - it's much easier than what I had been doing before. I'll definitely be using that in future.
