Hi @Marcky ,

 

Accoridng to your statement, you want to sort [Senior _VP] by [MCI Count]. As far as I know, Power BI supports us to sort one column by another column. 

For reference:

Sort one column by another column in Power BI

So, firstly, please make sure [MCI Count] is a column instead of a measure. Then in your sample, I find that there are duplicate counts for different [Senior _VP], like Aaron count =1,Maria count =1.

Duplicates will confuse Power BI and then sort will return error. If the count for [Senior _VP] are all different and [MCI Count] is a column , it will work. 

Note: Calculated column may cause this function return a circule error. It is better for you to create a custom column in Power Query Editor.

 

Best Regards,
