Hi
I have a table visual I am trying to re-arrange the order of the column values, however there seems to be no option? drag-drop dose not work?
Thanks 🙂
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @Anonymous ,
You need to create a new table and create a one-to-many relationship with the fact table, and then reorder it. Or create a custom sort column in the table.

@Anonymous , That can be done using sorting. Click on the column header, or use three dots. If you do not like sort order you need to create a sort column
