Group jusr part of old dates in matrix

[VitHorak]

Hi everybody.

I will apreciate any help with this probelm.

I have a tabe with SellerName, DateOfSale and SellngPrice to determine which dealer make sum of sales through the time...
These selleres are over of 700 in count. And the DateOfSales beggining in 2006...

I need to make an matrix visusal with seller names in rows and purchase dates in columns with sum of sales as values. This looks pretty clear and easy. But.. 🙂

Becasue there is many rows and columns in the matrix (I need to have drille down columns to month hierarchy) the matrix just show values only to the some year in past (there is some limitation in power bi to the number of colmns in matrix). If I switch rows and columns it's not help, becasue I have many of seller names as well...

TLTR:

Is there any way how to grouped part of dates in columns in matrix? I mean something like the print below. Just to have values over seller names with dates of sale older then two years back grouped in one column? If it can be done dynamicly, it will be perfect but it is not necessary.

Thanks for any help and tips!!!

@VitHorak , I you calendar have the column like

Year new= if([Year] < 2021, [Year]& "", " Old Data")

Qtr New= if([Year] < 2021, [Qtr]& "", " Old Data")

Month New= if([Year] < 2021, [Month ]& "", " Old Data")

and use them . Have space in else name so that they come first in sort

Thanks @amitchandak 
That works perfect!!! I use your tip and add custom columns (year, quarter, month) with text values instead of datetime values and make desired solution. And if I add one more custom column with TodayDate = Today() I will make variable to determine dynamicly "today minus two years" like this:

var _MyDate = DATEADD ( [TodayDate], -2, year)

and use it as "decisive" date, it will make what I want dynamicly. Perfect.

Thank you very much!
