Grouping in Matrix

[praveenkumarv]

Hi all,

Good Day. I have no idea how to generate a matrix view with Grouped items on the Row well. Please check the attached screenshot and it shows the way I wanted to group the items. Please help me how to do it in Power BI Desktop. 

Note: I tried to use the "New Group option" and grouped some of the items. But, when I used that into my matrix table, it didn't showed me with the expanded group view, I mean the child items associated to a parent were not displayed. All I got was only the Parent items on the Matrix Row well. Any help will be much appreciated. 

Thanks,

Praveen.

Hi @praveenkumarv

First make sure your dataset structure like below

Then add "parent" and "child" column to the Row field of a Matrix visual, then click on the fourth icon to let the row show at the lowest level.

Additional you could select Rows Headers->Stepped layout, turn off this option, you could see the picture as below.

If you have any question, please feel free to ask me.

Best Regards

Maggie

Hi ,
Grouping works perfectly fine, but I wanted to sort the "parent" column in a particular order. So, I created supporting table with ranking and pulled the respective column from the newly created table into the matrix. Now smth went wrong and grouping does not work any more. I cant figure out why.. puzzled. If any one could help!

how do you write a measure for  custom values for child in  this structural grouping?

The grouping has no effect on the rows, and you can consider that a measure will be calculated as if all columns were populated in a table.  If you're looking to do a different calculation depending on hierarchy level, you'll want to use a switch based on ISINSCOPE.
