Hello all,
I have raw sales data that shows sales (POS) and ship dates in each row. I have created a calendar table to match the 2 years worth of data I have and I have connected the calendar table to my raw data table.
I am trying to create a new table in my workspace, and my desired output is to have 3 rows of categories (Accessories, Hand tools, and Power Tools = Categorized by Business Unit), and columns based on Year.
the issue I have is when I drag the Business units and POS to the table, the ouput looks as I would expect - 1 row for each category in BUSINESS UNIT, and the total POS for each category. However, when I drag the year from my calendar table into the mix, it simply duplicates each row, and I end up with a new column titles 'YEAR' rather than 2 columns for '2018' and '2019'.
Is there a specific way to apply fields to a table to have the two individual years in my calendar table work as column headers in the new table I am trying to implement to the workspace?
any insight is greatly appreciated!
Hi @kylehennen ,
I think you are looking for a matrix instead of a table. The table will just show the content of the column Year, whereas if you use the Year in the columns of the matrix then it will give you a column for each distinct year (in the selection).
Put your POS in the Values part of the matrix to get POS per Year.
