Symbol to Show the Sort by Drop-Down Column
In this video, we add a sort icon to the column headers of a table to make it easy to recognise the column the table is sorted by. This video follows two videos where I demonstrated how to sort by a drop-down list in Excel. Sort by drop-down (all versions) - https://youtu.be/p9LjxjwNBzk Sort by drop-down (Excel 365 & Online) - https://youtu.be/Hj_mkYdin7k Download the workbook used in the tutorial. https://www.computergaga.com/_excel/files/formulas/dropdown-sort.xlsx When sorting an Excel table by a drop-down value, it is not immediately clear which column the table is sorted by. Especially, if the drop-down is a few rows away from the table. In Power BI, a neat arrow icon is shown to indicate the column sorted by. In this video, we create the same symbol using Excel formulas. Here are the timings of the video. 00:00 - Introduction to the task 01:11 - Sort icons in Power BI 01:53 - Excel formula to show sort icon 08:41 - Sort icon underneath the header text
