transposing
hi,
I have a table that translates GL accounts to ratio's. The table looks like this:
| Ratio code | GL accounts |
| 1400 | <4000> + <4010> + <4020> + <4030> |
| 1520 | (<1400> - <1410>) - <5000> +<6000> |
| 1600 | <4070> + <4035> - <4080> |
the actual table is more than 30 rows in length and some ratio codes are built up of more than 8 GL accounts.
As you can see ratio code 1400 is the sum of GL accounts 4000, 4010, 4020 and 4030.
I would like to use this information in PBI to generate visuals based in ratio code.
I think I need to do some transforming in order to use this data. I think that the following structure/layout is more usefull:
| Ratio code | GL account |
| 1400 | 4000 |
| 1400 | 4010 |
| 1400 | 4020 |
| 1400 | 4030 |
| 1520 | 1400 |
| 1520 | 1410 |
etc...
when i have this table i can calculate, for instance the reported amount via IF statements.
Any thoughts on this how to execute?
Or maybe other solutions that would be better in this case?
Thanks
Erwin
you should be able to use the unpivot, however i am unsure what your source data looks like? is it the top pic?
