Sort by columns returns error

‎11-17-2017 03:27 AM

Hello,

 

i have a table with the following columns:

 

  • A -> POS
  • B -> sales units
  • C -> POS grouped (due to put together only some POS)

 

What I want to do is to sort the POS grouped column by sales (since I will use the POS grouped column as a slicer). However, Power BI returns me an error because there can't be more than one value in column "Sales units" for the same value in "POS grouped".

 

Is there a way I can do it? Before grouping, I was able to sort column A (POS) by column B (sales units).

 

THanks in advance.

 

Andy

Hi @Anonymous,

 

Based my test, you should be able to follow steps below to sort the slicer(POS (groups) column) by sales.

 

1. Use the formula below to create a new summarize table.

Table = SUMMARIZE(Table1,Table1[POS (groups)],"Sales",SUM(Table1[SALES]))

2. Sort POS (groups) column by Sales column in the new table.

 

3. Create a relationship between the new summarize table and the original table.

4. Then use the POS (groups) column from new summarized table instead as slicer.
