Dear All,
In my data I need to group years into certain intervals. I only have years (when a building was constructed), not dates. The desired output is:
Pre-1937
1937-1973
1974-1988
1989-1995
1996-2001
2002 or newer
Unknown
Unfortunately, since this is text and not actual numbers, the slicer is sorted in the following way (which does not look good/logical):
1937-1973
1974-1988
1989-1995
1996-2001
2002 or newer
Pre-1937
Unknown
I don't think that creating a custom list would be feasible, because I have multiple users and I cannot create a custom list in everyone's Excel.
Is there any other way to force the slicer items to be sorted in a way that makes more sense for my data?
Thank you,
Blanka
Hi Blanka
Maybe you can try changing the text Pre-1937 to 1936 and before.

You can also begin the text 'Pre 1937' with a space. The space is sorted before the numbers so that'll do the same.
Sunny and Frans,
Great ideas. Thank you so much.
