Grouping calculated measures as values in a matrix
Hi,
I current have a table as follows;
| Category A | Category B | Category C | Category D | |
| Value 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Value 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Value 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Value 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Value 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Value 6 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
Each of the values in the above table is based on a calculated measure. My problem that I am facing is that I would liek to group values, in order to expand and minise rows based on grouping of the values. For example;
| Category A | Category B | Category C | Category D | ||
| Group 1 | |||||
| Value 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| Value 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| Group 2 | |||||
| Value 3 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| Value 4 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| Group 3 | |||||
| Value 5 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | |
| Value 6 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
I appreciate that the matric has a +/- function in the formatting for rows, but given that my values are based off calculated measures, I don't have this functionality. A way around this would be perfect, so all help is much appreciated!

Hi Anonymous ,
Create a table with the following format:
Measure Group
Value 1 Group 1 Value 2 Group 1 Value 3 Group 2 Value 4 Group 2 Value 5 Group 3 Value 6 Group 3 Now add the following measure:
Grouping Calculation = VAR Group_calculation = SWITCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Grouping_Measures'[Group] ); "Group 1"; [Value 1] + [Value 2]; "Group 2"; [Value 3] + [Value 4]; "Group 3"; [Value 5] + [Value 6] ) RETURN SWITCH ( SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Grouping_Measures'[Measure] ); "Value 1"; [Value 1]; "Value 2"; [Value 2]; "Value 3"; [Value 3]; "Value 4"; [Value 4]; "Value 5"; [Value 5]; "Value 6"; [Value 6]; Group_calculation )Format your matrix with the following way:
- Rows:
- Grouping_Measures[Group]
- Grouping_Measures[Measure]
- Columns
- Table[Category]
- Values
- [Groupin Calculation]

Hi Anonymous ,
The values that I have created in my file are several measures named Value 1, ..., Value 6. I assumed that what you mean by calculated measures right?
Can you please explain what you mean by complet the first step?

Hi, me again!
Firstly, thanks very much for your help with the solution to my problem. I have an additional step to this that I need some help with...
I have successfully created the groups within the table, and now would like to conditionally format some fo the values in the groups based on the results. The problem I have is that because I'm using just the one measure, based on the above, I can't conditionallly format any of the individual rows using the conditional formatting section of the format tab. I'm guessing I going to have to add some additional DAX to the existing grouping measure, or possibly amend the original measure that the grouping DAX references?
Any idea how I could get aroudn this.
Hope this makes sense.
- Rows:
Hi Anonymous ,
As far as i know, Matrix visual is the most common way to expand and collapse rows by groups but measure can only be add to Values field of matrix visual. So there are two ways I can think of.
The first way is using Calculated Column to get the values instead of Measure.
The second way is creating a Calculated Table based on the measure and table.
As i don't know the formula of your Measure, so i did a simple example about the second way.
Best Regards,
Jay
