Is there a way to add a customized column group in table matrix similar to the image below?
The counts are all measures.
Solved! Go to Solution.
@tomperro this needs you to create a custom table with the intended structure.
col1 with values : selected 6 months period , selected 6 month period vs previous 6 montth period.
col2 with values : the name of the measures.
then drag and drop them into the matrix in the columns.
create one measure with switch statement :
switch
true() ,
selectedvalue col2 = measure1 , [ measure1] ,
selectedvalue col2 = measure2 , [ measure2] ,
...
let me know if this helps.
Hi @tomperro ,
Thanks for the reply from @Daniel29195 .
Here's the example data I created:
Test Type |
Column1 |
Column2 |
111 |
1 |
18 |
222 |
2 |
17 |
333 |
3 |
16 |
444 |
4 |
15 |
555 |
5 |
14 |
666 |
6 |
13 |
777 |
7 |
12 |
888 |

11 |
999 |

Create a few simple measures:
A1 = AVERAGE('Table'[Column1])
A2 = COUNT('Table'[Column2])
B1 = SUM('Table'[Column1])
B2 = SUM('Table'[Column2])
Create a table:
Table 2 = CROSSJOIN(VALUES('Table'[Test Type]),{"Group A", "Group B"})
Create two measures that serve to group A1 and B1 into Group A and A2 and B2 into Group B.
Measure =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group A",CALCULATE([A1],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type]))),
MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group B",CALCULATE([A2],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type])))
)
Measure 2 =
SWITCH(
TRUE(),
MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group A",CALCULATE([B1],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type]))),
MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group B",CALCULATE([B2],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type])))
)
Using the matrix visual object for display, the final page visualization is shown below:
If this doesn't help you solve the problem. I would be grateful if you could provide me with the pbix file or sample data.
