Create a budget model with a few variables
Hi,
Currently, I'm working on preparing my sales budget. (Sales QTY, Revenues, COGS)
I want to input my data to excel horizontally, however in Power BI, I want to display this data vertically.
The standard solution by unpivot columns wouldn't work, because I have:
- 3 dimensions, that is Company Number, Product Groups and Months
- 3 budget version - Start, Optimistic, Negative
- 3 values - QTY, Revenues, COGS
Thanks for any help in advance!

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2. - amitchandak

Hi pawelj795 ,
How about first merging tables from 3 dimensions into 1 table then use "unpivot " to get the expected result you need?
