DAX - Convert Matrix Visualization to Query Table?

Hey all,

 

I have created a matrix visualization using measures, and I would like take the resulting data and use it elsewhere in my model.  The matrix looks like this:

My MatrixMy MatrixI can export the visualization data to .csv, and re-import it, but that's obviously not a great solution.  Is there any way to use DAX to create a new (un-pivoted) table using this data?  I'll note that the "Apportioned Labor Billings" measure only calculates the correct figures when presented in this matrix (the "correct" calculation that I need depends on the number of staff in each position in any given month, as presented in this matrix).

 

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

@jdperry Hey . 
I will suggest Kindly use Analysis in excel feature of power bi then you can use these same measure and create a new chart on top of that . That will be the best approch for your problem. 
Once your data is updated / refreshed in power bi report your excel report will also get updated .Never the less you have to hit refresh now button in data tab.

Thank you

@jdperry you can surely create another table from your matrix but would like to know the purpose of creating new table? What you are trying to achieve?

Feel free to email me with any of your BI needs.

I have a series of costs set out in different tables, and at the end of the day I'm going to need to prepare a cost summary by month using the data in those tables.  Some of the tables I can use as-is, and the values in others (like the labor costs data I show in my example) have to be adjusted according to a formula.  For example, the measure I'm using here for my adjusted labor billings is:

 

Apportioned Labor Billings = IF('Measures Table'[Total Staff]>=3, 
'Measures Table'[Total Staff Billing]*'Measures Table'[Apportioned Percentage],'Measures Table'[Total Staff Billing])

So what I would like to do is to create a new table from this matrix, and sum these values (sum of Apportioned Labor Billings per month) with monthly values from the other tables to create a total cost per month figure.

 

Hope that makes sense! Thank you for your help!
