Helper IGetting Selected Columns for Matrix Visual
Hi,
I am trying to Display year wise budgetary columns in matrix visual, but NOT all columns from every year.
Currently I am getting 6 columns for each year at different categories (rows) level as below:
But I dont want every column for every year. Like my requirement is to display :
- All 6 columns for Year 2019
- Only "Actual" columns for 2016, 2017 and 2018
- Average of "Actual" columns for 2016, 2017 and 2018.
Any help will be highly appreciated....
hi Arshadjehan
If so, you could only try these two workaround:
1. Unpivot the these six columns and then get it as above.

2. disable the "Word wrap" in Format-> Column headers of matrix, then reduce the column width to 0 manually for year 2016/2017/2018.

hi Arshadjehan
You could try this way as below:
Step1:Add a dim categories table as below:
Dim categories = UNION(VALUES('Table'[categories]),ROW("categories","Average of Actual"))Then create a relationship with basic fact table
Step2:
Create a measrue as below logic:
Measure =IF (SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Dim categories'[categories] ) = "Actual",SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),IF (SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] ) = 2019,SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),IF (SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Dim categories'[categories] ) = "Average of Actual",CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Value]),ALL('Table'[Type]),FILTER(ALL('Dim categories'),'Dim categories'[categories]="Actual")))))or
Measure 2 =IF (SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Dim categories'[categories] ) = "Actual",SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),IF (SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Table'[Year] ) = 2019,SUM ( 'Table'[Value] ),IF (SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Dim categories'[categories] ) = "Average of Actual",CALCULATE(AVERAGE('Table'[Value]),ALL('Table'[Year]),FILTER(ALL('Dim categories'),'Dim categories'[categories]="Actual")))))Result:
And here is sample pbix file, please try it.

ArshadjehanThanks v-lili6-msft for detailed answer.
But "Categories" you used in sample fact table as ROWS, are actualy columns in my table.
Here is the sample snapshot;
How can I refer to these columns, and get the similar solution you gave, withing the matrix I pointed to in my first post?

Hi Arshadjehan
there is no such option for matrix visual. you can hide columns only the same for each year
do not hesitate to give a kudo to useful posts and mark solutions as solution

Hi az38
Thanks, but how can I hide certain columns for one year and display all columns for other?
