Unpivot Column with Different Calculation Applied

Hi there,

 

I am trying to unpivot data matrix using pwoer query but the data calculation is not only using summraize but also average since the value have different value format, iie. absolute number and percentage. Is it possible to apply this purpose using unpivot column in power query?

 

Here is the data matrix example:

I would like to convert (unpivot) and visualize the table into this:

Kindly share your thoughts on this. 

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Anonymous 
Please try

Total Target (Switch) =
IF (
    CONTAINSSTRING ( MAX ( 'Table'[Indicator] ), "%" ),
    AVERAGEX ( VALUES ( 'Date'[YearMonth] ), [Total Target] ),
    SUMX ( VALUES ( 'Date'[YearMonth] ), [Total Target] )
)

Same for total actual
