Wrong sorting: Stacked Column Chart

[vivien57]

Hello everyone,

I don't understand a behaviour of PowerBI.

I have a Stacked Column Chart that has a bad sort (due to a many to many relationship)

You can see in several places that the sorting is bad. Let's take for example the case of India and Sweden.

If I remove the legend axis, we can see that Sweden has a higher number than India.

However, this is no longer the case when I use the legend axis (as the many-to-many generates more cases for India, but the sorting is not updated accordingly).

Do you have an idea?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Vivien

Hello everyone,

The concatenation works well.

Have a nice day,

If that doesn't work, you can make a measure that CALCULATEs the SUM after you REMOVEFILTERS from the legend column, add that to the visual as a Tooltip and Sort by it in the visual.

I think I have found a workaround: sort on the one column which is the concatenation of the 2 fields.

I'm still doing tests and I'll keep you informed.

@vivien57  Can you expand more on this solution- I am having a similar issue where I can't figure out what my stacked chart is filtering on. It should be defect percentage (longest to smallest line). Any thoughts?
