Slicing data across multiple columns

Anonymous — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 22:46:06 GMT

I have lots of data that can be summarized into the following type of data (this is not my data but it a smaller version and sanitised).

From the data I want to have a stacked column chart showing a sum of all jumpers sold and all jumpers returned across a specific time period.

Along with the above data, I have created a date table using the calendarauto function.

My real data has multiple 'Jumper' manufacturers and significant number of weeks data.

I want to only have one chart that sums all the sold and returned jumpers across a specific time period, but to then be able to 'click' a slicer for 'ABC Jumpers' and the chart to only show the values of sold and returned jumpers for 'ABC Jumpers'. And to be able to do that for any number of 'Jumper Manufacturers'

Any help with how to do this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous

You need to unpivot your columns into rows to acheive the results easily. You can do this in Power Query layer or DAX. Please refer below. Once you unpivoted then you can easily build a visuals.
