customize filter in column in matrix table
Hello
I have a matrix table, and I would like to sort the columns filter according to volume / value
Example:
Today my table looks like this:
It is necessary to classify this way, customized by acronym:
But in the matrix table I can not.
When I put the date filter too.
Any idea?
thanks
You need to include a column in your table that is a Sort Order for that column. Power BI defaults all text columns to sort alphabetically. If you have another column with a different number corresponding to each value, you can click the "Sort by Column" button in the Modeling tab and choose the correct column to sort by.
This is commonly done with months in a calendar table. You need a column called [Month Number] that is 1 - 12 where 1 corresponds to January, 2 to February, etc. Otherwise the Month column will always put April first...
