    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])

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!!
