Don't summarize values in matrix visual
Hi,
I have a column of percentages and can view them properly in a table, but when i turn the table to a matrix, it sums it up and there is no "don't summerize" option. I also changed the default summarization to 'don't summarize' but it still doesn't work. Is there anything i could do about this?
As a general rule I don't store percentages in columns as they are typically non-additive. Instead I store the raw values that are used to calculate the percentage, then I create a measure to calculate the percentage. In this way the percentage can be calculated correctly regards of any grouping or filtering that is applied.

Hi Anonymous
When adding columns in the "value" of a matrix, it would summarize as "sum" by default.
the values for the column would sum grouped by the column in "row".
Please see my example, if i add the same column in the "row" as table,
it shows correctly in a matrix.
If there are many columns in "row" field, please expand all levels to see the correct values.
Best Regards
