DAX : Pivot a table to get totals

[DarylRob]

So I've got the below table imported. 

Name	Region	Project Name	Total MRR	Total Hours
Andy	US		100	5
Trevor	UK		200	10
Andy	US		300	15
Trevor	UK		400	20
Sandy	US		500	25

I then want to be able to create a calculated table that will come out as below

Region	Name	Total MRR	Total Hours
US	Andy	400	20
UK	Trevor	600	30
US	Sandy	500	25

So I basically just want ot pivot up the totals of each person. 

I'm new to Power BI so don't know where to start

Thanks,

Hi,

It looks like you want a visual and not a calculated table.  If that is the case, do this.  To your Table/matrix visual, drag Region and Name.  Write these measures:

MRR total = sum(Data[Total MRR])

Hours = sum(Data[Total hours])

Hope this helps.

Thanks Asish, but I then want to be able to put this into a line chart to show progression over time, which wouldnt work with this would it?

Hi,

For that you must have a Date column in your dataset as well.

If you did specifically want a calculated table you could do this:

SummaryTable = 
SUMMARIZECOLUMNS(
    MainTable[Region],
    MainTable[Name],
    "Total Hours", CALCULATE ( SUM ( MainTable[Total Hours] ) ),
    "Total MRR", CALCULATE ( SUM ( MainTable[Total MRR] ) )
)

Now i've got another table that's got Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 row data in how would I bring that into this? Call it table2 and its as below

Name	Quarter	MRR Quota	Hours Quota
Andy	Q1	1000	50
Andy	Q2	2000	50
Andy	Q3	3000	50
Andy	Q4	4000	50

This is perfect, thank you

Hi,
Do you specifically need a calculated table or just want a visual to display a table like that?

If the later just drop the columns into a table visual like this:

Power Bi by will guess what agregation you want for a numeric column but you can check it by clicking the down arrow on a field after you drop it into a viusal:

Can send the DAX over if you specifically want a calculated table.

Hi, 

I forgot to include the date columns that i'll also have (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4) which I then want to be able to show in a line chart. Which I don't think I can do via this method?

Can you mock up a demo pbix file and send it. Think even bringing dates in you can keep it simple maybe with the addition of a date table. Might be missing something though.
