sorting columns
1 TopicHow to order slicer values by another column within each group of the current column
Hi everyone, I have a table that looks like this: WELL FORMATION DEPTH A B_top 1 A A_top 2 A C_top 3 B B_top 45 B A_top 48 B C_top 50 C B_top 101 C A_top 120 C C_top 135 In Power BI I want to build a slicer for FORMATION. The issue: the slicer always shows the formations alphabetically, but I want them ordered by their depth within each well. I tried creating a Formation_Order column using RANKX, but Power BI gives the error "There can’t be more than one value in Formation_Order for the same value in FORMATION" (because the same formation appears in multiple wells at different depths). What’s the correct way to set up a slicer that respects the per-well depth order? Do I need to build a separate dimension table for slicer values, with WELL + FORMATION combined, and then sort by depth? Or is there a simpler trick to achieve this? Thanks a lot for your help!
