Switch groups in 100% Stacked chart
I'm using a 100% Stacked chart and the legend is either Y or N. I have the N coming up at the bottom of the bar and Y from the top. Is there any way I can switch those two around so that Y starts at the bottom?
Thank you,
DHB
There sure is. Just add a new column to your table that will control the sort order of your Legend column
So please add the following column
Legend Sort = IF('mytable'[Legendcol] = 'Y' , 0 , 1 )Then specify the sort order of your existing column to use this new column using the Sort By Column feature

That's great thanks Phil.
The issue I have now is that I can't sort another column in the same table. It says Sort By Another Column Error - This column can't be sorted by a column that is already sorted, directly or indirectly , by this column. Can I only do this once per table?

Oh ok, it looks like you can't then. I haven't come across that. I take it you have another Y/N column in your table?
Perhaps just create some more sorting columns (which you can hide)
