If P&L result is presented in a bar graph, how do I rearrange the bar to show the data in the following order: revenue, COGS, G&A, depreciation & amortization, other income & expenses, then Income taxes?

  • Hi tyeung, what type of bar chart is it?  There are a couple ways you might sort based on the type of chart.  However, it sounds like you need to specify the sort order, and you would do this in a beast mode like this:

    CASE

    WHEN `P&L BUCKET` = 'revenue' THEN 1

    WHEN `P&L BUCKET` = 'COGS' THEN 2

    WHEN `P&L BUCKET` = 'G&A' THEN 3

    WHEN `P&L BUCKET` = 'depreciation & amortization' THEN 4

    WHEN `P&L BUCKET` = 'other income & expenses' THEN 5

    WHEN `P&L BUCKET` = 'Income taxes' THEN 6

    END

     

    Drop this is your card sorting settings area and set to ascending.  Let me know if this works for you

    @tyeung, did Domo_Diesel's reply help you out?

    I properly didn't use the command correctly.  Therefore, the suggested sorting formula didn't work for me.
