Sort 100% Stacked Column Chart by Percentage Values

‎05-02-2016 05:41 AM

In my Power BI Desktop file, I'm using the 100% Stacked Column Chart to compare 2 values for 10 people and the only options to sort the bars are:

  • x-axis value (person's name)
  • Value 1 of the bar chart
  • Value 2 of the bar chart

But, I want the bar charts to sort by the Value 1 % (which is Value 1 / [Value 1 + Value 2]) or the Value 2 %.  Thus, in the screenshot below, it would look like a waterfall with the blue colors sorting largest to smallest.

 

Is there a workaround for this?  Or something I'm not thinking of?

Okay I got the %s you say in the Post above - and they calculate exactly as you say!

 

However we were there before with the calculated columns only - those were producing the same results?

And you said they were wrong?

Ah, missed the part about it being a measure.

I think this would work:

 

Add a calculated column that contains the percentage value that you'd like to sort by. Call it "Sort_Pct" or something. Refresh the report and then go back to that sort menu in the top right of the column chart. The new Sort_Pct column should be an option there. 

 

(Sorry for lack of detail I haven't had time to test this and this is just from memory.)
