    Hi ahamdan,

     

    => Simply, I am trying to do P&L and I need it to be in the same format as I mentioned.

     

    So did you mean that you want to make the Gross Profi and Gross Margin also in the same column with Cost and Revenue? If so, I'm afraid it cannot be achieved in Power BI.

     

    You should know that Power BI is a data analytics tool. We can create a new calculated column or a measure to calculate value based on the source table. However it is not possible to insert the calculated value into the source table. This should be done at data source side.

     

    Thanks,
    Xi Jin.
