hi all,
is there a possibility to sort by hidden col ?
in matrix table ->the column is "age_desc" (dim) .
I want to sort by "age_id" (hidden) or "age_desc"
but allowing only sort by :company_code&name .
Thanks, sinayh
Solved! Go to Solution.
you need to be in the data tab for it to work - but you may have limited access in there because of the direct query.
This may help.
On the data tab, you can use 'Sort by Column' that dictates the sort and impacts any visuals that it's in.
hi, thank you for your response.
It's inaccessible, gray.
you have to select the field you want to sort and this will make it available - then choose the variable from the drop down that you want to sort by.
hi, Sorry I may not understand though.
It may be related to - direct query?
Unable to click - age_desc (2).
And even when I choose "company" (1) a sorting - Still gray 😞
