How sort bar chart based on specific order

Hello everyone, 

I have a  stacked bar chart  with some departments as a dimension and calculated measures as the length of the bar,

I used the sort by expression and write below expression but it doesn't work 

Match(Departement,'[Exec. Office]','Admin','Financial','Drilling','Geophysics' , 'Drill Bits','E&P' )

I would be grateful if someone can help me

Hi,

Under Sorting tab, have you tried to disable Auto and all other checked under Sorting tab for the rest of the fields ? That might be the reason why your sorting with expression is not working

Could it be, that you have a typo in your code

in the grafics it shows Exce. office, but you are searching for [Exec.office]?

It could be due to other selections affecting the sort order expression. try excluding all selection

Match(only({1}Departement),'Exec. Office','Admin','Financial','Drilling','Geophysics' , 'Drill Bits','E&P' )

Hi,

 

Try to remove [] from Exec. Office

Match(Departement,'Exec. Office','Admin','Financial','Drilling','Geophysics' , 'Drill Bits','E&P' )
