Hi everyone,
I trying to have a personnalized sort in matrix or chart (not my tables), and I don't find in the dimension parameters where I could define the sort.
On Qlik, there are sorting parameters for each dimension of the matrix or chart, and it can be done with a formula (for instance : WildMatch(ART_cat4, '*nett*', '*essen*', '*solu*', '*spé*','*corps*','*maq*','*abso*','*autre*') which means sort the ART_cat4 first with, ART_cat4 containing "nett", then "essen" and so on). As you can see it is not alphabetical nore numerical.
How could I do that on Power BI ?
Thanks a lot !
Hi,
Please try to add an index column in Query Editor first.
Then sort the target column by this index column.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

hi @v-gizhi-msft thanks for your suggestion. I will try this way. I hoped there was a solution without adding any new column as in my opinion it complexifies a lot the final model.
Hi,
I think if you want to sort the data like my sample posted last week by numerical, you should have to add an index column as an unique column to rank but no other way.

In power, Bi sort can be changed using a sort by column

Or power query M text functions can help : https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerquery-m/text-functions
Hi @amitchandak I read this article before, but it wasn't of any help, as I don't want to sort by an alphabetical order nore by a numerical order, it beign ascending or descending.
