Hi All,
I am new to Power BI Development. I have a simple requirment where I need to create a Matrix report.
Which I created like below which is fine.
but the one issue with above report is the highlighted filed required in a proper order.
1st should be PTD , then ELM and finally CIS .
To achive this I created one master table which hoold the code value in a proper order like below.
but this is also not helping.
Please do let me know which setting I am missing.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vipin Jha
Solved! Go to Solution.
Sort Code column by CodeId column in code table. Create a relationship between two tables on Code columns. Put Code column from code table into the matrix. Now it should be sorted as expected. You probably missed the first sort by step. See Sort one column by another column in Power BI Desktop - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

/****** Object: Table [dbo].[rawdata] Script Date: 30-11-2021 12:22:17 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[rawdata](
[Due_Date] [varchar](100) NULL,
[ID] [bigint] NULL,
[Payment] [int] NULL,
[CODE] [nvarchar](10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[rawdata] ([Due_Date], [ID], [Payment], [CODE]) VALUES (N'01-10-2021', 56536, 63, N'CIS')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[rawdata] ([Due_Date], [ID], [Payment], [CODE]) VALUES (N'01-10-2021', 56536, 6, N'PTD')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[rawdata] ([Due_Date], [ID], [Payment], [CODE]) VALUES (N'01-10-2021', 56536, 87, N'ELM')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[rawdata] ([Due_Date], [ID], [Payment], [CODE]) VALUES (N'01-11-2021', 56536, 63, N'CIS')

I am looking for report like below
highlighted column should come in correc order like PTD , ELM and the CIS should come.
Thanks,

Yes This Code column I refered from Code table where I maintain the Codeid.
But when I am dragging this CodeId column in column I am not able to see it for sorting.
if you ok I am ok to share the report file.
