The order in Matrix table

[brankocareer]

Hi,

In the matrix table , there are 2 items under "Rows" : [Rollup Account Category ] and [Rollup], my goal is:
1. The order of [Rollup Account Category] is fixed.
2. The order of [Rollup] dynamically changes based on sorting of any "Values", when I click the header of any "Value".

I have created a column called : [Rollup Account Category Order], and set the "Sort by Order" of [Rollup Account Category] based on [Rollup Account Category Order], but I can not achive my goal in the report.
How can I achive that?

Thank you!

Branko

Hi @brankocareer ,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

In a table visual, you can sort by combination, for example, first by Rollup Account Category, then fixed, and then by Amount.

But, in a matrix, you can't do that, it's by design. You can either combine the Rollup Account Category and Rollup in the row to sort or sort the amount separately.

Here, the workaround is: go to data view, sort Rollup by Amount. 

Of course, this workaround may also have limitations, which require further testing, but for now it is perfect.
