Sorting in a Matrix using another column.
Hi,
I have the below matrix but I am having issues sorting it the way that the user has required.
I want the matrix to show the 6 months of revenue first then the 6 months of billing rather than side by side so I know I need to sort on something other than month.
The solution should look similar the pivot table below, but instead of having 'HRS weighted' & 'HRS', I would have Revenue & Billing. Does anyone know how to do this in Power BI? I have briefly tried calculation groups already but can't seem to work it out yet.
MATRIX:
PIVOT TABLE:
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shaun
Hi,
you'll need to create a new table with the sorting order for you columns and then use sort by in the column tools to adjust it to that order. I wrote a blog which includes how to do this, check out: https://github.com/DOLEARY85/Power-BI-Replicate-Excel-Table

Thanks so much, I didn't actually need to do anything with the sorting. Duplicating & Unpivoting did the trick by itself.
Great Blog Post 🙂
