Pivot table sorting not working

Hello All,

I am attaching a sample application where I want the user to select any 1 measure from the listbox and the pivot table should get sorted accordingly.

Please help!

Looks to me like it works. It first sorts on Region, then sorts the Departments within the region and so on.

Hahahaha ya I figured that, but I guess the answer still stays the same that the kind of sorting you are looking for might not work with a pivot table. But I will still not pass any judgement and will wait for somebody to may be give you a solution you are looking for

Best,

Sunny

Hi,

Yes I totally agree with that but for Canada Region, Department='', Role='Others' should come first as it has the highest value.

Hi Sunindia,

Thankyou.

But previously it was working fine and now I have no idea why it is not working.

Oh okay.

I would love it if you can share the solution once you have it pinned.

Thank you.

You sort Role by sum(Amount), and Role '' has the highest value 1033 + 543 + 1222, so it comes first.

Sum(Amount) will not be considering the preceding dimensions.

(Think about how it will  affect sorting when pivoting Role to the top otherwise)
