Sorting by size
- 3 years ago
Hi ChrisDg ,
Just as DataInsights mentioned before, you can create an Index column, then sort it by index.
Except the methods DataInsights mentioned before, you can also add Index columns in PQ:
Here is the M code:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("NYxBCoAwDAS/IrnaQjZtUV/gB7wVD4JHURD/j0msx5mdpFYCBRJaQyWJYAUMTkAshmVyLIjCPrdd2AIz4yeKCrAb+W6UvPE3aFGrzCX8GaNXztl5vrdz75br2Q6TSd+vLw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Company size" = _t, #"Total Views" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Company size", type text}, {"Total Views", Int64.Type}}), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Index",{"Index"}), #"Added Index1" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type) in #"Added Index1"Then sort column by index:
Output:
Here is another method to achieve your goal:
Add Index to the tooltips field:
Then sort it:

You shouldn't be using Ascending or Descending. Disable the sort completely by removing the check mark from "Company Size" in Sort Axis. It's a toggle that you can select/deselect.
Hi DataInsights,
Where do you go to disable the sort completely? Where is the sort axis located?
Thank you,
Chris

Hi DataInsights,
For the company size option in the sort axis section, I don't see an option to disable this by removing the check mark. For example, if I click on company size (while it is check marked) it will automatically go to the other selection option which is sort by total views. If I right click on this option it doesn't do anything. Can you clarify what your recommendations are?
Thank you,
Chris

Try removing the Company Size field from the visual and then add it back.

Hi DataInsights,
I tried that and it didn't work.
Thank you,
