Missing value after sort by column

Hello,

 

My table contains the value and I added 4 more items with formula using - Var .... Return Switch (4 items I want to put), because otherwise 4 calculated formula won't show up in the table. The original table with 4 items show the whole value perfectly, although the sequence has changed. After I changed the item order by index using 'sort by column' the 4 items are missing. Is there anyone who had a same issue? Thank you.

 

Best regards,

Sichang

This is the solution for measure values becoming blank or incorrect when we sort a column by another column

To fix the issue we need to include all(column name which is used to sort by)

So if Column A is sorted by Column B, 

Our measure should include 

calculate( expresession, filter criteria, all(ColumnB))

Hope this helps someone 🙂

Hello,

 

I attached the screen shot below. I sorted the item - 1 by index column to make the right sequence.

 

But after sort by column, 4 items don't show the value anymore (these 4 items are formula: ROCE, EBITDA%, CM1%, Spec.CM1). I think it's because of the new measure I make: Item 1 - Act. I make a variable Item1new and return switch to present calculated item. (the calculated 4 items are not part of the original item - 1 so that's why I tried out in this way.)

 

Basically, the table is working before sort by column, but after sorting the item - 1, Item 1 - Act doesn't show the value for the calculated results.

 

It would be great if you can give me another approach or fix my formula. Thank you.example.PNG
