Add calculated column to matrix table display

Hello

I have a visualization of an array table, in which I need to have the values as a row (I have more than 50 calculated values and about 12 columns of categories), but in a column next to the values I would need to have some calculated percentages.

In excel it would be something like this:

I have seen how to put the values as a row, but I am not able to add the column with the calculated percentages, and putting them as a value would not be a solution, since it would have a table of more than 100 rows, and the visualization would be complicated.

Does anyone know if it is possible to make this visualization that I need?

Thanks a lot!

You are conflating a number of separate concepts here. The recommended action here is to create a measure with the percentage calculation, and then to add the measure to the values.

Hello

Thank you for your answer, but in Power BI I already have as a measure both the absolute value and the percentages, and as columns the dimensions.

The problem is that I need the percentages in column and the absolute values as rows, and this is where I don't know how to do it.

When I put values as rows, I can't add the percentages as columns.

I hope you can help me.

Thank you!

You have Estados as rows and Categorias as columns. Both the absolute and the percentage are in the values area of the matrix visual.

Hello

First of all, thank you for your reply.

I think I'm not explaining myself well...

As values I have the total of records that is in each state and the percentage that represents, and as dimensions, the different categories.

but the presentation I need to make is to put the absolute values of each state's record totals as rows, but the % of these records as a column.

When I tell the parent table that I want the values as rows, the resulting table is:

But what I would need would be this:

Thank you

Hi @Syndicate_Admin ,

 

Please provide some sample data or sample pbix so that we can do more tests:

Hello

Attached link to pbix with the matrix with values as rows, but as you will see the percentages appear below the absolute value, and what I need is that it appears next to the absolute value.

I hope you know some way to get it.

Thank you!

Thank you for providing the pbix.

 

I would recommend that you rethink your approach to this.  General advice is to avoid scroll bars on your visuals, especially horizontal scroll bars.  Your visual has three (!!) scroll bars - not only is your visual too small for the amount of data you have, but you also used a custom page size.  This is guaranteed to create a bad user experience.

 

Use multiple pages, think about using paginated reports, or even separate reports. Once you do that then your original issue might resolve itself too.
