Add filter for sorting to existing data

Posted on by 5

Hello

I'm trying to add a new filter to sort and filter the employees, but I don't know how I can add this.

I've tried "related" -> "salesperson" -> "teams" but that doesn't show up.

Is there an easy way to add a new column to sort the employees by something new other than default?

    The only way you can achieve that is in AL code. So you should discuss that with your developers and have them assist you with this issue.

    I don't think this is what I'm after.

    I'm not a pro at this, but what I'd like to, it to add a column like this one (took a picture from your guide) that tells what roll the employee has.

    Later I want to be able to sort this in Power BI Desktop.
