Creating KPI output from sales and target tables

Hi everyone,

 

First of all, forgive me if this question has already been answered but i've hit a brick wall.  I'm trying to create a dashboard using two tables (individual jobs and monthly targets).  I have created my DimDate table and have successfully created a relationship between the two.  What i'm now trying to do is to create a pivot table/matrix of sorts that summarises a series of measures from the jobs and targets tables.  Something like this:

I can work out the measures from each table and have them output in one column (see below).  Note that i have changed the row headers to reflect which table the data has come from.

Has anyone got any pointers as to how i can achieve the top output?  Do i need to start adding calculated columns to the monthly targets table, or do i need to add some additional tables that branch off it?

Thanks, Richard.

@RichardBu,

 

Split the row headers into two columns by adding calculated columns, then you may use the Matrix visual.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for taking the time to reply but i don't understand your suggestion.  My action prior to posting was to add a table viz and then bring in each field, based on a combination of calculated columns, measures and actual values.  Since i posted the question i've researched and produced measure tables, one for the jobs and another for the targets.  Am i on the right lines?

I feel like the solution to this is likely to be simpler than i imagine but i'm just banging my head against a wall at the moment.

Richard.
