Hello!
I have a problem I just can't seem to work my way around.
I have a unpivoted table (Table1) with a list of KPIs (e.g. Sales, Cost1, Cost2, Cost 3). I have another attribute column to tell me whether something is an acutal or a budget, and then a value column. I also have a fourth column with another attribute (e.g. department, so that the KPIs are repeated.
I can therefore create a table that gives me the actuals, the budget, and variance using a measure <-successful so far.
The problem is when I want to build a second table. I have a list of calculations that I want to create (e.g. measure1 = Cost1/Sales) for Actual and Budget. How do I build this in such a way that I can have a table with each KPI down the rows, and Actual, Budget and Variance in the columns?

Hello!
Here is my data:
Name | Attribute | Type | Value | |||
Dept 1 | Cost1 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 1 | Cost 2 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 1 | Sales1 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 1 | Sales2 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 1 | Cost1 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 1 | Cost 2 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 1 | Sales1 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 1 | Sales2 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 2 | Cost1 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 2 | Cost 2 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 2 | Sales1 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 2 | Sales2 | Actual | x | |||
Dept 2 | Cost1 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 2 | Cost 2 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 2 | Sales1 | Budget | x | |||
Dept 2 | Sales2 | Budget | x |
If KPI1% = Cost1/Sales1
and KPI2% = Cost2/Sales2
My query is how I would build this table:
Actual | Budget | Variance | ||||
KPI1% | x | x | x | |||
KPI2% | x | x | x |

Hello @OverEgged,
Can you please try the following:
1. Create Measures
Sales Actual = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Value]), Table1[KPI] = "Sales", Table1[Category] = "Actual")
Sales Budget = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Value]), Table1[KPI] = "Sales", Table1[Category] = "Budget")
Cost1 Actual = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Value]), Table1[KPI] = "Cost1", Table1[Category] = "Actual")
Cost1 Budget = CALCULATE(SUM(Table1[Value]), Table1[KPI] = "Cost1", Table1[Category] = "Budget")
Ratio Measures
Measure1 Actual = DIVIDE([Cost1 Actual], [Sales Actual])
Measure1 Budget = DIVIDE([Cost1 Budget], [Sales Budget])
Variance Measures
Measure1 Variance = [Measure1 Actual] - [Measure1 Budget]
2. Create KPI Table
KPI Table =
DATATABLE(
"KPI", STRING,
"Actual", DOUBLE,
"Budget", DOUBLE,
"Variance", DOUBLE,
{
{"Measure1", [Measure1 Actual], [Measure1 Budget], [Measure1 Variance]},
{"Measure2", [Measure2 Actual], [Measure2 Budget], [Measure2 Variance]}
}
)
Thanks @Sahir_Maharaj , I'm trying your solution, but I'm getting the error: "The tuple at index '1' from the table definition of the DATATABLE function does not have a constant expression in the column at index '2'."
I'm trying to troubleshoot this now
Hello Good afternoon, I don't know if you could find the error, however I think I could make use of the join and row function to create the table with the KPI's my solution would be:
Table_KPI=
UNION (
ROW("Aggregation","KPI_1","value",CALCULATE(Expression)),
ROW("Aggregation","KPI_2","value",CALCULATE(Expression))
)
This problem caught my attention since I am also trying to get this out and, after almost 8 hours, I found a solution that in my opinion is not very efficient but intuitive. Please let me know if this worked.
