How to view metric by dimension in matrix visual
Hi,
I am trying to build a matrix visual laid out in the following template.
| Measure/Month-Year | Jan-24 | Feb-24 | Mar-24 |
| Measure 1 | |||
| Dim1 | |||
| Dim2 | |||
| Dim3 | |||
| Measure 2 | |||
| Dim1 | |||
| Dim2 | |||
| Dim3 |
When I try to create a matrix visual by adding my measures, add the dimension fields in the rows section, and add my metrics, and turn on the "switch values to rows" option, it displays the data per dimension, rather than per metric, like so-
| Measure/Month-Year | Jan-24 | Feb-24 | Mar-24 |
| Dim 1 | |||
| Measure 1 | |||
| Measure 2 | |||
| Dim 2 | |||
| Measure 1 | |||
| Measure 2 | |||
| Dim 3 | |||
| Measure 1 | |||
| Measure 2 |
Is there a way I can display the data in the aforementioned format using the default visuals in Power BI. I am happy to add external visuals as long as they are AppSource verified as this page would be sent as a subscription to several users in the business.
Power BI does not support dynamic buckets. You need to bring your own buckets. In your case that means you need to create a disconnected table with a list of your measure names. Then you need to add that to the row area, and modify your measures to sense if the respective measure name is in the selected values of the current filter context.
