Question

You are designing a Power BI report with a bar chart comparing sales across five product categories. Stakeholders complain that the categories appear in a random order, making the chart hard to read, and they want the highest-selling category displayed first. Which action should you take to satisfy this request without changing the underlying data model?

Accepted Answer

Sort the visual by the Sales measure in descending order using the visual's 'More options' sort menu

Answer

Add a numeric index column in Power Query and set it as the sort-by column for the category field

Answer

Apply a Top N visual-level filter set to 5 categories to force the ordering

Answer

Enable conditional formatting on the data colors so the largest bar is highlighted
