    Hi siva_powerbi ,

     

    You need to make sure that the DATA option is enabled when using filters on the report page along with the bookmarks.

     

     

    Thanks,

Hi siva_powerbi ,

 

When you say sorting the matrix visual - does it mean you need 2 sorting buttons outside the matrix visual to sort the matrix visual by product Name in ascending/descending order?

 

You can achieve this by using bookmarks and buttons in Power BI.

 

But I am still struggling to understand that if there is already a sort icon against product Name column in matrix visual, why you require extrernal sort buttons.

 

Thanks,

Pragati

Hi Pragati

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

Can you please help to elaborate more on using bookmarks for sorting as if filter is applied on the visual still bookmarks work?

 

Yes, their is a sort icon on visual but we can't see both ascending and descending at once, Also my organization need to have a sort buttons in differet shatpes and different background to enhance user experience.

 

Thanks

Siva
