Creating a new table from custom measures

Hi, 

 

My question: how can I create a summarized table from custom measures I've already created

 

I have a data table that looks something like this: 

Month  |   Respondent   |   Indicator for Product 1    |   Indicator for Product 2    |   Indicator for Product 3  |    etc......

 

I want to know the % of respondents each month who have heard of each product (that's what the indicators tell us). Respondents can answer that they've heard of multiple product, so I wouldn't be able to combine the indicators into a single column. To solve this, I created custom measures for each product (# of respondents who've heard of the product / total # of respondents). However, I'd like to display all the products side by side in visuals. Since I always end up summarizing my data on the monthly level, I'd like to create the following table: 

 

Product                                    |     Jan   |      Feb   |    March    etc....

Product 1 Custom Measure     |     %     |        %    |       % 

Product 2 Custom Measure     |     %     |        %    |       % 

Product 4 Custom Measure     |     %     |        %    |       % 

etc....

 

 

Can anyone advise on how to do this? 

 

In case it's relevant, the "month" field in the data is all a single date (like May is 5/1/2017) if that simplifies things. 

 

Thanks for your help!

@Anonymous,

I would recommend you create a disconnected table which contains all the measure names, then create required measure and create a Matrix visual as described in the following blog.
