X axis custom sort on stacked column graph

Hi everyone, 

I have a column stacked graph and want to sort the X-axis using a custom sort (ie it's not alphabetical order). I want to display the x-axis in a particular order. How do i do this?

Thanks

Hi @kkjoy81 ,

 

amitchandak's link is about add a sort in date table. I think you want to add a new sort for text format column in your table. If you add a custom sort by dax with IF() function, you will get a circule error. Here I suggest you to add a custom sort in Power Query Editor. Add a custom column by Conditional Column Function.

Then sort the column in X axis by this sort column. You may refer to the offical blog mentioned by amitchandak to learn more details about how to sort a column by another column.

 

Best Regards,
Rico Zhou
