Hi Guys,
I need some help, how to get additional data into a matrix visual.
My source is similar to the following:
I could easily add this to a matrix like this:
But I want to add additional calculations like difference or percentage as additional lines, like the following (taken out of excel):
What is the best way to archive this with the given data structure?
Is it usefull to add additional lines with this calcuatation?
If yes, I can a manage this?
If not, which data structure is usefull to manage the calcuation at the one hand and still able to use the matrix visual?
PS: I allready tried the following structure, but these seems to be incompatible with the matrix visual.
Thanks a lot
Martin
@martin_cologne You have two options. A disconnected table of your row values and a single measure. Or, 4 measures and use the "Show values on rows" option.
Thank you for your super fast reply. Do you may habe some additional hints, what to do where? I'm a bit confused.
@martin_cologne Sure, you could create 4 measures. For example, "current" and "last" would be:
current measure =
VAR __Table = FILTER('Table', [Type] = "current")
VAR __Result = SUMX(__Table, [Value])
RETURN
__Result
last measure =
VAR __Table = FILTER('Table', [Type] = "last")
VAR __Result = SUMX(__Table, [Value])
RETURN
__Result
You could then use this option:
The other option is that you create a disconnected table (no relationships) with a single column with row values of:
current
last
difference
percentage
Use this column as the rows for the matrix.
You create your same four measures such as those above. Then you create a single measure for use in the table that looks like this:
Measure to display =
SWITCH( MAX('Disconnected Table'[Column]),
"current", [current measure],
"last", [last measure],
"difference", [difference measure],
"percentage", [percentage measure]
)
Hi @Greg_Deckler ,
thanks a lot for your solution. If I haven't overseen something, both solutions are ignoring the product until now. Could you give me an hint, how to add it?
Option 1: 4 measures and use the "Show values on rows" option
In this scenrio I need to add a second filter criteria for products. Do you have an hint about the syntax?
current measure =
VAR __Table = FILTER('Table', [Type] = "current")
VAR __Result = SUMX(__Table, [Value])
RETURN
__Result
Option 2: A disconnected table of your row values and a single measure
I also need to add the product relationship here. Is it an good approach to start with an crossjoin based on the mentioned "disconnected table" in combination with distinct(table.produkt)?
Disconnected Crossjoin = CROSSJOIN(DISTINCT('Table'[Produkt]),'Disconnected Table')
PS: I need to delete the MAX function, in the following statement, to get it running. What is the purpose of the MAX function here?
Measure to display =
SWITCH( MAX('Disconnected Table'[Column]),
"current", [current measure],
"last", [last measure],
"difference", [difference measure],
"percentage", [percentage measure]
)
Thanks
Martin
