    Hello Anonymous 

     

    For the first problem, I would recommend you to transform your table using Power Query:

     

    Unpivot your value columns:

     

    Split the Attribute column(earlier headers) to create two separate columns:

     

     

    This way you should be able to filter your visuals using slicers:

     

     

     

    For the % share, it is not very clear what is the output you are looking for. Is this the output you are looking for?

     

    I have created following measures for this:

     

     

    Total fruits =
CALCULATE (
    SUMX ( dtTable, IF ( dtTable[Category] = "fruits", dtTable[Value] ) ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( dtTable, dtTable[Category] )
)


Total Vegetables =
CALCULATE (
    SUMX ( dtTable, IF ( dtTable[Category] = "Vegetables", dtTable[Value] ) ),
    ALLEXCEPT ( dtTable, dtTable[Category] )
)


% Share fruits = DIVIDE(SUM(dtTable[Value]),[Total fruits])

% Share Vegetables = DIVIDE(SUM(dtTable[Value]),[Total Vegetables])

    Regards,
    Vivek

    If it helps, please mark it as a solution

    Kudos would be a cherry on the top 🙂

Hi vivran22 

Thank you so much for your reply! The slicer solution worked perfectly.

For the share part, it works, but the problem is that I have a lot of categories and can't introduce them manually. Is there any way of calculating without adding the name of it? And I have to calculate the share for other indicators as well. Sorry, my first explanation was not the most understandable.

In the Period columns I have sales values. I have to have 3 types of analysis:
- one for brand level, splited by market. The category should have 100% in all market types, 100% in Sales and 100% in Volum.


- one for supplier level, spilited by market. Also the category should have 100% in all market types, 100% in Sales and 100% in Volum.


I have created a draft report, with how it should look like: (Private label is just another column where I have "Private label" and "No private label".). The example is for Brand level, I also have to have it for supplier level; and also with the slicer for Period 1 or Period 2. 

 

 

I hope I explained it right. 

 

Thank you so much again!

    Hey,

     

    Still not very clear in terms of output required

     

    Is this kind of calculation/value you are looking at?

      Hi vivran22 ,

       

      I think I figured it out. This is how it should look like: 

       

      Each channel(hypermarket, supermarket, country, etc) should have 100%. I used unpivot columns for "Brand and Supplier" to be able to use it as slicer(in an Attribute column), like you advised me. I used the following formula for value % share:

      Value % Share = 'Table'[Period 1 This year]/calculate(sum(Table[Period 1 This year]);ALLEXCEPT(Table;Table[MARKET];Table[Measure];Table[CATEGORY];Table[Attribute]))

       

      I think I will make 2 reports, one for period 1 and one for period 2.

       

      Thank you again!!
