Hi, I'm pretty new to Power Bi and ran into this problem today and I'm not sure how to proceed.
So I have 16 stand alone querys with time series data where each query have a timestamp column and a value column.
Every query belongs to category 1,2,3 or 4 and belongs to a parameter category A,B,C,D.
How do I aggregate these monthly so I can view their monthly aggregated values in a matrix? The matrix should look like this and the values should be in the empty spaces.
| Parameter | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
A | ||||
| B | ||||
| C | ||||
| D |
Hoping for some guidance!

@amitchandak Thank you for the advice, it gave me some tips and tricks on how would I approach this problem!
If anyone else stumbels upon my problem, i've left a guide below:
I solved my problem by merging my queries then expanding them in my new query and then I made a new column namned MonthYear which comes from my timestamp column (= year*100 + month) . After that I used group by to aggregate them monthly using MonthYear (here I gave each grouping a name which is a combination of their respective two categories), then i used Unipivot to get a attribute column for each value, Then i split that attribute column so I got two columns so I could get the two categories I wanted.
And because I use the hourly data for other visuals I created a "translational" table to map the hourly timestamps to the YearMonth table so I get the right data when changing my slicer.
