Hi,
I want sort the value in a slicer by another column in the same table. I did in the table level, click the value field then sort on another column desc. However, when I create slicer, it still use value as the sort field. Did I anthing wrong or missed any steps?
Solved! Go to Solution.
OK. I found it myself. In the visual side, the visual must sort in the same way as well.
In Power BI, how do I sort slicer values (other than by name)?
Use the Eric Barr answer.
The trick is to highlight the column header (Table View). Then use Columns tools (ribbon) > Sort by column to then choose the 'hidden' sorting column.
How did you solved this issue?
OK. I found it myself. In the visual side, the visual must sort in the same way as well.
Hi,
select the field in the data pane on report view. Then on the column tools ribbon select sort by column and select your sort order.
If I answered your question, please mark my post as solution, Appreciate your Kudos 👍
From my screenshot in the original post, I already did those steps. I found the answer myself. Thank you anyway.
