Ascending order

Hello,

 

I dont want the data sorted as Power BI does. I want the data in the same way they are in the table. Any ideas about how to remove the order ?

Hi @AudreyRene ,

Regarding your question, you can use the 'Sort by column' button.

Sort one column by another column in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

The Table data is shown below:

Hi @AudreyRene ,

If you have used 'Sort by column', you can remove index column. As in the picture I provided, I did not add the index column in the table visual.

Hi @AudreyRene ,

Based on your picture, it seems that you used 'sort by Column' for the 'Index' column.

So after deleting the 'Index' column the sorting will become invalid.

Please select the column you want to sort.

If you still have problems, can you share the .pbix file without the sensitive data?
