Sorting random text values

Hi All,

 

Please see below Graph and the order of Result. I need to change the order the result is showing so instead of A,B,WA,WT,WW i would like to see it in the order of A,B,WT,WW,WA. Any help is appreciated.

You need another column that matches up the sort order that you want, so something like:

 

A,1

B,2

WT,3

WW,4

WA,5

 

The you can set the "Sort By" column to this other column. You could create this other column in Power Query with an IF statement and then use it as your Sort By column.
