Dynamic header names in Table visual

Hi there,

 

I am working on a report wherein I would like to have dynamic header names on my Table visual. Pls see screenshot below for a sample report(prepared in excel). I need to display the month name for current and previous 2 months in the header.

 

The first table (Sales data as on 31-Dec-2018) gives the Sales for December, November & October and the second table (Sales data as on 30-Nov-2018) gives the Sales for November, October and September.

 Kindly suggest as to how to achieve this.

 

Thanks in advance,

Ajay

Hi Ajay123,

 

So your requirement is to change the table column dynamically, right? I'm afraid dynamic table couldn't be achieved, however, as a workaround, you may follow steps below:

 

Click query editor-> click on columns Dec-18, Nov-18 and Oct-18 and click transform-> Unpivot Columns, the result is like below:

Then drag the three columns to Matrix visual like below and set visual level filter on column Date:

The result is like this:
