Helper IITable visual sort order based on date column not displayed
Community SupportHi, lutho
I think you need to classify the name of the same exam, for example science71, science72, so that there will be no errors.

Helper IIHi Janey, can you please elaborate on "Classify". I understand that classification is for data sensitivity and done in the Service?
The Example Display Result field I use is actually a measure: the Subject (English), the student test result (70) and IF not the current year a bracketed display of the year of the test.
I cannot find any options that make sense.

Hi, lutho
If you use measure, you can’t see the feature of ‘sort by column’, you should use calculated column, right? Is there only one column in your table visual? Can you share your formula and whether the same value appears in the result column?

Hi Janey - that confirms why the column was not available for selection.
The table visual has only 1 column - recent history of exam results.
The DAX query is fairly simple (I am still getting my head around the ins and outs of Power BI):
Exam Display Result = SYN_AssessmentResults[Description] & " - " & SYN_AssessmentResults[AssessmentResult] & IF (SYN_AssessmentResults[Year]<>2020," (" & SYN_AssessmentResults[Year] & ")" )The purpose of this measure was purely for the display in this one visual. If I need to make is a calculated table happy to do so if that sorts out my ordering issue. Only this measure is used in the table visual.- v-janeyg-msft
Hi, lutho
If you use a measure, then you put only one measure in table visual,it will only display one value instead of a list of values.
Are SYN_AssessmentResults[Description],SYN_AssessmentResults[AssessmentResult] and SYN_AssessmentResults[Year] all measures?
