Sorting in Matrix visual

Hi Experts,

 

I am facing a scenario which is  Column to be sorted descending order in Matrix visual.

 

I used year field in column header with subheader 2019,2020,2021. I cannot see the sorting option based on values in each year.

 

       

 

If i sorted based on "Actual" column, only total actual values were sorted but i need individual column(like 2019/2020/2021) to be sorted upon clicking on it.

 

Is it possible to achieve like this?

 

Thanks.

    Hi,  Anonymous 

    The value of 2019 is part of the value in the original field. You can only sort the column as a whole.
    As a workaround, please consider creating separate measures for the 2017, 2018, and 2019 , and apply these three measures to the value of the matrix.

     

    2019 value = CALCULATE(YourMeasure,FILTER(Table,Table[Year]=2019))

    2018 value = CALCULATE(YourMeasure,FILTER(Table,Table[Year]=2018))
    2017 value = CALCULATE(YourMeasure,FILTER(Table,Table[Year]=2017))

    Anonymous , Create column in date table

     

    Year 1= [Year]

    Year sort =  rankx('Date', [Year],,desc,dense)

     

    Mark Year sort as sort column of year 1 and use  year 1 in visual

    Hi amitchandak ,

     

    Thanks for your reply.

    Here you mentioned about the sorting of column header but in my scenario, i want to sort the values in each column.

     

    example: from the above snap, in 2019 column, the values should be sorted desceneding order like 256748, 67744, 37377 and 0.

    hi Anonymous , amitchandak ... This solution does not suit to me. I'm facing the same issue but I want to stay dynamical and that the user can sort by himself. How can I do it? Any idea?
