Hi  @Anonymous ,

I created some data:

Here are the steps you can follow:

1. Create calculated table.

Table 2 =
var _table=
SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[Customer],"Sum",SUMX(FILTER(ALL('Table'),'Table'[Customer]=EARLIER('Table'[Customer])),[Value]))
return
ADDCOLUMNS(
    _table,"rank",RANKX(ALL('Table'),[Sum_Measure],,ASC,Dense))

2. Relationship to join two tables.

3. Select [Customer] – Column tools – Sort by column – [rank] for the new table.

Hi Peps,

 

I'm trying to create a customer sort with the help of dimension table, it worked for number and text perfectly. What turns it down is when using a special charter as a parameter to sort, for instance when I'm trying to create a column "Day" which ranges from the -12 and +12 days from Presales (Day) it's not sorting as I expect it to be, though I've defined relationship with the base table and sort this table with "Sort Order"

I'm getting something like below:

The outcome should be something like:

Any help in this regards will be much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

Atul

@Anonymous , You need to create sort column

 

Example

customer1 =[customer]

 

 

customer Sort = Switch( [customer],

"Samsung",1,

"Hp",2,

//Add other

 

10)

 

Mark customer sort as sort column of customer1 and use customer1 in visual
