Sort by Key column

Hello,

I want to create a new key column and sort the table by this key. I know how to combine the fields (three columns), but how to sort the table by this new key field (with DAX)?

I know the standard sort function but I want automate it.

 

Thanks

 

Dominik

Hi @dominik_thoe

 

I'm afraid there is no better way to do that with dax. Below is the other way about sorting for your reference.

I create the key in M now and use the "Sort by Column" function in the Data view. Seems to work.

Thanks

I don't think this can be done in DAX.  The normal way to do this is to use the "Sort by Column" function in the Data view.
