How to control table/matrix date columns with filter?
- 5 years ago
I'd advise a bit of remodelling in power query so the data's easier for Power BI to work with.
First highlight all the month columns then click Unpivot Columns
The data will now look like this:
Add a Custom Column to have the source
Repeat the same steps for your second table.
Finally, use 'Append Queries' to get a single table with all the data.
Now you can use a matrix, or any other visual that makes sense, to visualise the data and have a slicer on Attribute (you'll probably want to rename that column in Power Query) to filter just selected months
Sorry buddy i don't get it. I want the date columns in my table to appear and disappear according to a filter. Is that possible?
I've been trying to merge the queries but with no success. While this won't solve my problem it might help.
Here's what i'd like the merge to give me:
It'd join the two tables aligning the matching columns. I known it might make more sense tweaking the raw data.
Just wondering if PowerBI can do this.
Cheers
