Hi all,
I have trouble creating a matrix where I would like to put different measures I calculated to show a distribution.
I have this first table where I can see the names of the people and their score to 3 different tests:
Name | Score1 | Score2 | Score3 |
a | 80 | 70 | 60 |
b | 50 | 50 | 50 |
c | 20 | 30 | 10 |
d | 80 | 20 | 50 |
e | 70 | 90 | 80 |
f | 10 | 10 | 20 |
I would like to create a matrix where I can see the distribution of each score under it, that would look like this :
Score1 | Score2 | Score3 | |
>=60 | 50% | 33% | 33% |
40-60 | 17% | 17% | 33% |
<40 | 33% | 50% | 33% |
For now, I can calculate each of the value, but I don't know how to integrate them in one table.
The measures I use are this, for each score:
Score1 60 and up = CALCULATE(COUNT('Sheet1'[userid]);FILTER('Sheet1';'Sheet1'[Score1]>=60)
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @MylèneB ,
In your scenario, we need to unpivot the table using the following query in Edit Queries:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSUbIwABLmIMLMQClWJ1opCcg0NUAiQILJQKYRiG8MIgwhgikw7UZIKlNhxlkaQKRBgmkQTVACqDw2FgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Score1 = _t, Score2 = _t, Score3 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Name", type text}, {"Score1", Int64.Type}, {"Score2", Int64.Type}, {"Score3", Int64.Type}}), #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Name"}, "Attribute", "Value") in #"Unpivoted Other Columns"
Then we will get a table like below:
Then we can create a calculated column using the following DAX query:
Column = IF ( 'Table'[Value] >= 60, ">=60", IF ( 'Table'[Value] >= 40 && 'Table'[Value] < 60, "40-60", "<40" ) )
After that, we can create a measure using the following DAX query:
Measure 2 = DIVIDE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), CALCULATE ( COUNTROWS ( 'Table' ), ALL ( 'Table'[Column] ) ) )
Then drag the fields and measure to matrix, we will get a table like below:

Thank you so much, it worked really well!
As a second step I would want to be able to filter this matrix with slicers.
For example, I have different persons in different groups and I would like to be able to look only at group A and that my distribution matrix is also measuring only group A, is it possible to do this?
