DAX Measure

Hello, 

I have come across an issue and was wondering if there is a way around it. I am providing a sample of the date here with a few columns. 

If I want to show a table that would show the count of IDs by Branch and Departments in the same table other than Matrix (The actual data has a lot of differents types of columns such as gender, etc.), is there a way I can put them all together instead of stacking one down another like the following picture?
Any kind of help will be appreciated.

  • Hi syasmin25 , 

    You could choose [Branch] and [Department] columns ,  try "unpivot column" , then use this in Table like below

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQwVNJRCk7MSS0G0r6JmXlKsTogYSMwtyg7My8dyPLLLynKgMoYA/kBpUXJGYnFmJImQL5nCMjI/NKikozUxOISqIwpkj0QyfJUuKQZTBvEBbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Department = _t, Branch = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Department", type text}, {"Branch", type text}}),
        #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"ID"}, "Attribute", "Value")
    in
        #"Unpivoted Columns"

      Hello, 


      I have come across an issue. So, If I am tracking ID from different sectors of the industry. So, lets say I industry produces toilet papers (lets call it "T.Paper.example") and another part of it produces meats (lets call it "meat.co.example"). And I would have the same visual as you are showing below just another column that would say "Meat.co.example" if the data Attribute/Value is from there or "T.Paper.example". And suppose there are duplicates and certain measures I would like to apply. When I bring in the measures, my attributes/values only shows data half the data ( so here, it would just be data from the Branch column, the Department column's rows disappears.)

  • syasmin25 , this will group in table visual. Unless you can create some kind of row number with of rank on based on department and try

    Try to create the rank of the department under branch (category/subcategory Rank) and use that in visual to without summarization
