Creating Row Measures in a Matrix Table
Hello,
I am new to PowerBi and need some help with adding row measures to a Matrix Table so it looks something like this:
| Jun | Jul | Aug | |
| A | 25 | 10 | 25 |
| B | 75 | 10 | 25 |
| C | 100 | 50 | 25 |
| Total | 200 | 70 | 75 |
| A % Total | 13% | 14% | 33% |
| B % Total | 38% | 14% | 33% |
| C % Total | 50% | 71% | 33% |
I was able to get the table to show the bold items but cannot fin a way to add the measures into the table so that filters will apply as well. My data set looks something like this:
| Product | Month | Category | Qty |
| A | Jun | Units | 25 |
| B | Jun | Units | 75 |
| C | Jun | Units | 100 |
| A | Jul | Units | 10 |
| B | Jul | Units | 10 |
| C | Jul | Units | 50 |
| A | Jul | Units | 25 |
| B | Jul | Units | 25 |
| C | Jul | Units | 25 |
Any assistance you can provide is appreciated.
Anonymous - What you want is absolutely possible. What you need is a disconnected table for your row headers. Then create a measure that returns the correct calculation based upon your row. So your disconnected table would be:
Column
A
B
C
Total
A % Total
B % Total
C % Total

Anonymous , the format is not possible.

I am not sure if it's possible but the closest I can get is using the "Show on Rows" option under the Values section of the Matrix.________________________
