Hi bogdan_elastic 

 

Would you be able to visualize your problem, as a sample of data in the current state and what is the outcome that you expect?

Please, can you clarify, what do you mean by "I was wonding if there's any way to indicate this incapacity to PowerBI?"

 
Best Regards,
Mariusz

    Hi Mariusz ,

     

    Would you be able to visualize your problem, as a sample of data in the current state and what is the outcome that you expect?

    Please, can you clarify, what do you mean by "I was wonding if there's any way to indicate this incapacity to PowerBI?"

    I am looking for a way to flag to PowerBI that the data source can't order by a column, if that column is not used for grouping.

    Ideally, there would be a setting in SqlCapabilities passed to Odbc.DataSource, as an example.

     

    So, in the full example I've given, ideally PowerBI would also group by "C2" and "C3" if ordering by these columns.

     

    Regards,

    Bogdan.
