If I create say matrix with employees on rows and months on columns with expenses in values, I currently cannot sort by a particular month to see who were the top spenders in that month. I can only sort the totals.

Excel allows sorting on individual column values. Need similar functionality in the matrix as well.

RE: Sort by individual column values in a matrix

unfortunately this is still a not resolvable challenge , matrix columns cannot be sorted if you have more then one field on the column axis. hint: zebrabi visual can sort on any column but its not free
