Client vs Peer Comparison
Hi,
I am new to Power BI and have the following use case with me:
- I have 2 data sources (in Excel)
- Source A has the data for a client for n number of criteria (Industry, Employees count, Revenue, etc.) in columns.
- Source B has the peer data (100+ rows) for the same criteria, 1 peer per row.
I want to combine the 2 data sources in the following way:
- If I create a bar chart for any criteria (eg. Average Revenue) then I should be able to compare the client with the peer in the same chart.
- I should be able to apply filters on the peer's data in such a way that the Client's bar doesn't change and only the Peer's bar changes if I use a slicer in the dashboard.
Hope the use-case makes sense. Highly appreciate any help on this.
utkarshaggarwal , Create a common dimension, which has the client name from A and Peer name from B
called peer group, If need add a new column as client name in source A
distinct(union(distinct(source[Client_name]), distinct(source[peer_name])))
Now using this you can analyze them together
if you want to select peer using a slicer, then you might need independent tables.

The two tables need to have common columns and create relationships that can then achieve your expected output as:
