sort all visuals by one variable

Hi, 

 

I'm new to Power BI and have a question concerning ordering.

 

I have two visuals on a report page. On the x-axis, there are the same entities displayed for both visuals. The y-axis is "Sales" in Visual 1 and "EBIT" in Visual 2, both concerning the corresponding entity. What I want to achieve is the following:

If I sort one of the visuals by, let's say "Sales", there will be naturally a certain order of entities on the x-axis. Is it possible, that the second visual ("EBIT") has now automatically the same order of entities, even though the variable which is sorted by ("Sales") is not included in this visual?

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Cheers,

 

Yannik

@Yasc , You have to do it manually. Add sales visual to the tooltip, when it is not part of the visual. and sort on that.

Thanks @amitchandak, even though this is not the solution I hoped for, it is at least a solution.

 

Do you know where I can submit some kind of feedback for later patches of Power BI? Maybe that's something the developers can work on, as I think this could be really helpful for other reports and the software can get improved by introducing this.
