Sort a Table Vizualization in the order of user selected Items on a Map

[JohnH66]

Hi,

I am working on a report / screen that shows pending work jobs and their location on a map. The user wants to be able to select a number of jobs from the map which then filters the table visual next to it. No problems so far. 

The issue is that the user wants the table to order the jobs in the order that they have been selected on the map, the order having no link to any data field. The screenshot below shows that the table is sorted by Postcode, so as each location is clicked on the map it is added to to the table, but in post code order, not the order in which the user selected the map pins. 

Is it possible to make the table show the selection squence rather than the sort order? In case the simple answer is no is there any other workaround solution, the key point being the user will select from the map and the output has o be in that order.

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions

John

There is no solution and also no workaround. What you are asking for is fundamentally against what Power BI does now. Specifically Power BI is not writing data back  (yet) and does not have a concept of session variables.

Raise an idea.

Thanks for your reply @lbendlin . Figured it was a longshot
