How we can move column on left or first position in matrix/ Table? Using logic without using formatting tool.

Hi @Ali123 ,

 

The only way to make this to work is to create a new measure with the total value, I assume that you are using a column to get the Surly and Trek values on the matrix so if you create a table with the following setup:

ID Type
1 Total
2 Surly
3 Trek

 

Then do a Sort by on the column of the Type by the ID.

 

After create a measure similar to this:

Total Value =
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( TotalTable[Type] ),
    "Total", SUM ( 'Surly/Trek'[Value] ),
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( 'Surly/Trek'[Value] ),
        'Surly/Trek'[Type] = SELECTEDVALUE ( TotalTable[Type] )
    )
)

 

Result below and in attach PBIX:

@Ali123 , you have to create a table with Total and these values and create a sort order
