start a matrix table at 7am
Hi I have a matrix table that has hours in the column and store in the row with a count of employees as the value
Currently it defaults to start at midnight through to 11pm. I want it to start at 7am through to 6am. Is there a way to do this.
| store | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
| A | 10 | 15 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 5 | 8 | 9 |
| store | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 |
| A | 9 | 20 | 15 | 10 | 15 | 18 | 8 | 9 |
Thank you

yes, read about "Sort a column by another column". This assumes you have a dedicated hour column in your table.

You can create a calculated column that adjusts the hour values to fit the desired range :
ShiftedHour = IF( 'Table'[Hour] >= 7, 'Table'[Hour] - 7, 'Table'[Hour] + 17 )Now you can use the ShiftedHour column instead of the original hour column.

Hi that works as it renames the 6 to 23 which is what i need but i still need to use the original column in my matrix and sort by that so in the matrix the 6 still needs to show as 6 not 23.
This is what i need it to look like, hours from midnight to 6am are from the following day. so i need the day to start at 7 am through to 6 am the next day on each row. Hope that makes sense. I have tried creating a conditional column and sort by but that doesnt seem to work either. The hour column how it is imported from teh DWH is stored as a number and i cant amend that.7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 11/07/2024 12/07/2024 13/07/2024 14/07/2024 15/07/2024 16/07/2024 - lbendlin

I am sure that won't be confusing to your report users at all...

Hi maurcoll ,
If this error is encountered when sorting by another column, consider creating a custom column in PowerQuery.if [Hour] >= 7 then [Hour] - 7 else [Hour] + 17Output:
