Dear Power Bi Community,
I have an issue with the group by function where the combined values are combination of 2 fields :
Field 1 = numbers
Field 2 = text
I’ve used the following formula to group rows :
= Table.Group(#"customized column", {"FactorA", "FactorB"}, {{"Combined value", each Text.Combine((List.Sort( [Field1 & Field2], Order.Ascending),"#(lf)"), type nullable text}})
with this formula, rows into each combined value is sorted but as following :
1 xxxx
10 xxxx
2 xxxx
while I’m looking for an order as :
1 xxxx
2 xxxx
10 xxxx
Any ideas to help with are more than welcome !
Many thanks in advance for your help !

Hi , @Betty888
You can try this in "Advanced Editor" in Power Query Editor:
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSUUoCYnMLIFGRnFisFKuDEDU0ABLFiXCxZCA2AilEEzMFi4GFQNpS0JTBxExAYlArQNpS4VoT4WJpyOpiAQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [FactorA = _t, FactorB = _t, #"Field 1" = _t, #"Field 2" = _t]),
test = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"FactorA", type text}, {"FactorB", type text}, {"Field 1", Int64.Type}, {"Field 2", type text}}),
Custom1 = Table.Group(test, {"FactorA", "FactorB"}, {"Combined value",(x)=>Table.Sort(x,"Field 1") })
in
Custom1
The result is as follows:

List.Sort(lst,eacn Number.From(_))
Thank you for your reply!
I don't know where to put your query?
