Immediately Microsoft launched Energy BI Desktop March 2020 which I hoped that it features a easy function on Matrix visible to have the ability to kind the Martix by column in descending order, however, it doesn’t. So, on this publish I shortly present you how one can kind Matrix by column in descending order.
Right here is the state of affairs. Considered one of my clients is constructing a report in Energy BI displaying gross sales by Yr, Month and Day of Week in a Matrix as beneath.
All the things seems positive! However wanting on the Matrix sorting shortly reveals that such function is NOT accessible (YET). However the buyer want to see the Matrix sorted by Yr in descending order, one thing like this.
Right here is the answer which is tremendous easy.
- Add a brand new “Yr” column, both in Energy Question or utilizing DAX. I take advantage of DAX simply to maintain it so simple as doable
MatrixSortDescYear="Date"[Year]- Add one other column which retains the order of the brand new “MatrixSortDescYear” in descending order like beneath:
MatrixSortDescYearOrder = -( 'Date'[Year] )- Type the primary column by the second
- Now put the “MatrixSortDescYear” in columns part in Matrix and take away earlier “Yr” column
Voila! Straightforward, easy and neat!
