Helper IIVisualizing Historical Data
Hi tom-lenzmeier ,
In my example, I used the IsCurrent flag in the table to determine the version. I added a column where IsCurrent = 1 is labeled as Version 1 (current record), and IsCurrent = 0 as Version 0 (historical record).
I also transformed the data in Power Query by unpivoting columns like StartDate, EndDate, CurrentPrice, and PriceValidFrom, so these attributes are displayed as rows.
For the matrix visual, I set:
Rows: Attributes
Columns: Version
Values: AttributeValue
I disabled row and column subtotals so only the values appear side by side in the matrix.
Since your table already uses the SCD Type 2 structure (StartDate, EndDate, IsCurrent) as described in the documentation, this approach should work for you as well.
If you need more details, just let me know.
Helper IIYes! That's it. Can you make a suggestion about how you versioned the records? Also, what properties did you set for the matrix? I'm familiar with a type 2 slowly changing dimension using this method: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/fabric/data-factory/slowly-changing-dimension-type-two
