BI novice here, I've been playing with the software for about a month and I am beginning to use it seriously. I have read posts about how to sort the different columns in a stacked bar chart, but I don't understand how to sort the inidividual stacks within each column. I have tried dragging them in the values field, renaming them , changing their values etc.
Again, I know how to sort the full columns and I have tried using the top right corner options, but to no avail.
In the attached picture, I would like to display the 5 tiers from 5 to 1, instead of from 1 to 5.
Any suggestion?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Ok so thanks to your help I've figured it out. I simply created a new table with two columns:
Column one: original category name (numerical value)
Column two: tweaked category names with increasingly more spaces (classified as categorical)
I then established a relationship between the new table and and the old one with the data, and in the "Legend" field of the chart I dragged the new field (Column two).
And it worked! Definitely more complex than needed though
Thanks
AFAIK no direct way.
You could try & see if you can enhance the visual it to add a sorter attribute to the column stacks.
Finally, check the ideas section to see if there is already a request and vote for it; else add an idea; Will certainly be useful for the masses.
Regards!
On second thoughs - a dirty approach - play with spaces in front of description. Hope this helps!
Very interesting, thanks. I am not sure how to connect the original tiers to the new spaced description but I'll try, thanks!
