    Hi Ahmed_Gamal ,

     

    I think your table maybe like this:

     

    Please create two new columns:

     

     

    G/L = SWITCH(
    TRUE(),
    'Table'[Cost] < 0 && 'Table'[Journal Name] = 1, "G",
    'Table'[Cost] > 0 && 'Table'[Journal Name] = 1, "L")

New_percent = IF('Table'[Percent] <> BLANK(), 'Table'[Percent]*100 & "%")

     

     

    Create a new table:

     

    Table 2 = 
UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Journal Name",[Journal Name],"Group Name",[Group Name],"Type","Cost","Value",[Cost]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Journal Name",[Journal Name],"Group Name",[Group Name],"Type","Percent","Value",[New_percent]),
    SELECTCOLUMNS('Table',"Journal Name",[Journal Name],"Group Name",[Group Name],"Type","G/L","Value",[G/L])
)

     

     

    You will get a new table like this. Please note: the type of value column is text.

     

    I think this is the result uou want:

    header of multiple layers and merged cells are really not friendly to data analysis. what is your expected result?

    Hi Ahmed_Gamal ,

    you can use the conditional formatting on a measure  ( green if gain, red if loss) and maybe putting the journal name in the row, not in the column.
