A Calculation Group using a different kind of time intelligence

Hello, 

 

I am having issues getting some values to show. I poured through the web and found that calculation groups would be a better solution, but I am a begginer level at best when it comes to using DAX. I have Tabular Editor 2 as I can't pay for the newer one. 

Below I have my matrix visual, I want to add calculation items to display the values if that is possible. There are a ton of values that have to be shown. I have a parameter that is used to be able to select between the different values. The parameter was used in a measure that shows the last 13 week avg. I have the dax for it below.

So im just wondering instead of creating this measure for L13W Avg (and since I will need another column called L13W vs LW % Chg) could I make a calculation items for the missing columns and if so how would I make it. 

 

ChatGPT has been only somewhat helpful. Its great making measures but not in directing me to make calculation group. Can anyone help?

 

edit: I really want to keep my parameters as we have around 20 values that have to be shown within the report. I just want to be able to show a L13W Avg and a % Chg from LW as values in the matrix.

You are trying to make Power BI behave like Excel.  While it is technically possible to have custom matrix visuals with multiple independent totals it's a lot of maintenance effort, and you want to be really sure your needs justify that.

 

Consider instead using the standard Power BI functionality and splitting your visual into two visuals
