Hello, I am facing an issue of sorting by breakdown name in waterfall. Below is my exaple:
The Power BI will sort waterfall by size of the value but I hope to make "Specialty" always dispaly at first position. I saw some post that if you click the "..." button at the top right and you will see an option of "sort by name" but I didn't see that option on my power bi desktop. Additionaly, I tried "sort by column" and it worked in every visuals except waterfall.
Please let me know if anyone has a solution or faced same issue like me.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous,
I made a test based on this vison of desktop 2.60.5169.3201 64-bit (July 2018), I cannot reproduce your issue here. Both methods you offered worked well. Could you please have a try to use the latest version? If the issue is still occurred, kindly share your sample data to me.
For more details, please check the pbix as attached.
