Yes, "first column in multiple rows" is how it's going to have to work in Power BI, I think, Which is probably fine, maybe in a Matrix visualization? Now the trick will be if I can populate my numeric values with VARs when I create the table. I was thinking I read somewhere that I can. Like:
Gift Table =
VAR BIGGER1 =
CALCULATE(
SUM(SOMECOLUMN),
SOMEFILTER)
RETURN
DATATABLE (
"Gift Level Name", STRING,
"Gift Level", STRING,
"Gifts Needed", INTEGER,
"Prospects Needed", INTEGER,
"Dollars Needed", CURRENCY,
"Cumulative Total", CURRENCY,
{
{ "Biggest", "#####1", #####, #####, #####, #####},
{ "Bigger", BIGGER1, #####, #####, #####, ##### },
{ "Bigger", "#####2", #####, #####, #####, ##### },
{ "Bigger", "#####3", #####, #####, #####, ##### },
{ "Big", "#####1", #####, #####, #####, #####},
{ "Big", "#####2", #####, #####, #####, #####},
{ "Big", "#####3", #####, #####, #####, #####}
}
)Thanks for your replies, Nathaniel_C !
