    Hi dineshkumar_vrv,

     

    Currently, only one column can be sorted with the sort option in Power BI. Here is an idea about adding a multiple columns sort feature. You can vote it up and add your comments there to improve Power BI on this feature.

     

    In addition, an alternative way to sort both payment column and Quantile column is using the formula(DAX) below to add a new calculate column in your table, then sort by the new created column. :smileyhappy:

    Column4 = Table2[payment]+Table2[Quantile]

    Regards

Error Message : The syntax for ';' is incorrect. (DAX(RANKX( ALLSELECTED(Hospital_Gen_Res_QR[Payments]); Hospital_Gen_Res_QR[Payments]; ;ASC))).

 

 

Rank =
RANKX(
 ALLSELECTED(Hospital_Gen_Res_QR[Payments]);
 Hospital_Gen_Res_QR[Payments];
 ;ASC
)

    Thank you formula worked but sorting issue still prevails , it sorts only the payment column in ascending and Quantile column is not sorted in ascending.

     

    My requirement is to sort payment and quantile in ascending order

    Use the approach v-ljerr-msft mentioned or if you don't want to store the concatenated column use

    Rank2 = 
RANKX(
 ALLSELECTED(Table1[Payment]);
 Table1[Payment]&"-"&Table1[Quantile];
 ;ASC
)
