Hello,
Is it posssible to sort the chart below by quarter?
The year is correctly sorted, but the quarter seems impossible to sort! I tried "Sort by column" and all possible format configurations but how to sort this?
Thanks!
Hi @webportal,
It seems that you want to sort by breakdown in Waterfall chart, but it is not supported in Power BI currently.
From here which has been mentioned, "Please note that the fix that we made for Aug 2017 version was to remove sort by breakdown from the options, because that is not supported by design. It was a bug to allow sorting by the breakdown to begin with. Sorting by break-down is not supported, and that is by design."
You also could vote this idea which has been submitted in Power BI ideas forum.
Best Regards,
Cherry
