PROD-ID

YEAR

SALES-FEB

PROFIT-JAN

PROFIT-FEB

QTY-JAN

I would like to display the data in a visual, but with the ability to control the view.

CHOOSE VIEW:

SALES

 

PROFIT

 

QTY

 

Selecting SALES would show the following example.  If PROFIT or QTY are selected, the Customer, Product, and Year would stay with the monthly value columns changing to match the selection.

 

SALES-JAN

SALES-FEB

SALES-MAR

SALES-APR

I have worked through various examples including Field Parameters but have not figured out if this is possible.  Does the data table need modified in Power Query Editor to make it better suited to the results I want or is there another area I should research?

 

Thank you for any assistance.

Definitely possible with Field Parameters but first you need to bring your data into a usable format by unpivoting.
