Hi Community,
I have a requirement to build few visuals using 5 different spreadsheets(LIFT,LAS,WAS,LIFT-DRMONs,MQs) that are connected to Power BI desktop. Below shown are the visuals and requirements customer is looking for.
The Columns that i need to use for this calculations are coming from 5 different spreadsheets and i cannot combine them as they are not similar to each other.
Is it possible to pick all the required columns from each spreadsheet and build one more table in Power Bi ?
Please guide me on how we can acheive this . I tried DAX functions like Selectcolumns ,Summarize to create a sub table . However, those are accepting columns only from one spreadsheet ,but not from others.

Hi, @Anonymous ;
You could use union() to create pie chart.
Pie= VAR _a=SUMMARIZE('LIFT',[B],"category","LEFT")
VAR _b=SUMMARIZE('LIFT-DRMONs',[B],"category","LIFT-DRMONS")
VAR _c=SUMMARIZE('LAS',[B],"category","LAS")
VAR _d=SUMMARIZE('WAS',[B],"category","WAS")
VAR _e=SUMMARIZE('MQs',[B],"category","MQs")
return UNION(_a,_b,_c,_d,_e)
The final output is shown below:
If not right, can you share a simple data removing information, along with the results you want to output?

"and i cannot combine them as they are not similar to each other" - thanks, I needed that chuckle.
You can calculate all your required values in Power Query and then merge them there.
NOTE: Using a pie chart for the visualization is a bad idea. A pie chart suggests that the values in it add up to a whole entity. Clearly not the case in your scenario.
