I need to recreate a document that looks the same as a Word document in Power Bi, the native looks like this:
Name | Data from table |
Utility | Data from table |
Shared Facility | Data from table |
911 Address | Data from table |
Fire Department and Phone Number | Data from table |
GPS | Data from table |
POI | Data from table |
Operational Contact | Data from table |
Maintenance Contact | Data from table |
Nominal Size at POI | Data from table |
Nominal Energy Duration | Data from table |
Interconnect Capacity | Data from table |
POI Charge Limit | Data from table |
Co-located Charging | Data from table |
NERC CIP | Data from table |
Use Case(s) | Data from table |
Dispatch Method | Data from table |
I have added the table with the data for the right-side column into Power Bi already, but I don't know what type of visual will allow me to create the two columns with the left column static and the right to pull information from the table.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @rosamhernandez1 ,
If you want static columns on the left side and dynamic columns on the right side, then I recommend using the Table Visual Object as well as the Matrix Visual Object. These two visual objects correspond to different scenarios for you to choose from.
For example, if you have a single piece of data with only one value per static column as shown in the image below:
Then I recommend that you use the table visual object, where we use the index column as a relational join between two tables to ensure that our output is dynamic.
However, if you have a large amount of data and each static column has more than one value, as shown in the figure below:
Then I suggest you use the matrix visual object, where we use the index column and the lable as a relational join of two tables with a one-to-many relationship to ensure that our output shows all results
If you have further questions you can check the pbix file I uploaded, I hope my method will help you solve your problem, I would be honored if I can solve your problem!
Hope it helps!
