I want to add the G/L value (red column) to only the column number 1 in matrix table and not to show on the other columns like the pic.
I added it as measure but it appear om all coumns
the point is it possible to apply it to just the first column or not
Solved! Go to Solution.
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:

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.

the same problem
the colors set to the all columns not only the first one
header of multiple layers and merged cells are really not friendly to data analysis. what is your expected result?
i want a (gain or lose by if function) for the first coulmn only according to the cost value.
