Hey I have a matrix that looks like this. %A-%E is a measure.
When I try to sort the columns in a different way using Sort by Col and choosing the Number values of the colums. Example would be A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4, E = 5. When I try to sort them all the percentage values become 1 or 100%. Would anyone know why this is happeneing?
The matrix:
|C %C E %E A %A D %D B %B Total %Total|
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ro | 1 .09 1 .09 4 .36 2 .18 4 .21 11 1
Ro | 2 .22 1 .11 2 .22 1 .11 5 .55 9 1
Ro | 3 .24 3 .24 1 .08 3 .24 6 .48 13 1
The Matrix after I try to sort them.
|A %A B %B C %C D %D E %E Total %Total|
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ro | 1 1 1 1 4 1 2 1 4 1 11 1
Ro | 2 1 1 1 2 1 1 1 5 1 9 1
Ro | 3 1 3 1 1 1 3 1 6 1 13 1
The Matrix I want:
|A %A B %B C %C D %D E %E Total %Total|
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ro | 1 .09 1 .09 4 .36 2 .18 4 .21 11 1
Ro | 2 .22 1 .11 2 .22 1 .11 5 .55 9 1
Ro | 3 .24 3 .24 1 .08 3 .24 6 .48 13 1
The Measure I am using. It gives a percentage of the value based on the total of that row.
% of peeps = DIVIDE(
DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[value]),
CALCULATE(DISTINCTCOUNT(Table[Value]), ALLSELECTED(Table[Column])))
Hi @kpansia,
After sort the measure, please check data type of values, you should set the value with two decimals as follows.
Best Regards,
Angelia
