Handling Matrix display for large number of Measures

[Vemul]

Hi Folks, 

hope I can get some help, 

I am working on a item count table that need total count information update daily. 

data has multiple Groups ( 99AP, 99BB, 99NN) and sections (AMB,CLD,DRG).  looing for solution how to manage desired output in Matrix table with golbal or simple mesure/s

example below table has 3 owners have common areas need to get count of slot per day,  previously I am writing measure for owner+ area for this scenario 9 measures and using switch to present out put as shown belwo summary table - is there a way we can write simple measure to cover all - any help appreicated.  Thanks V

Date	Owner	Area	Slot No
18/07/2025	99AP	AMB	A1
18/07/2025	99AP	AMB	A2

@Vemul Let's solve this in two steps 

Step 1: Create a measure 

Slot Count = COUNTROWS(Data)

 Step 2: Create Matrix Visual 

• Rows: Drag Owner and Area to the Rows area (create a hierarchy)
• Values: Drag your Slot Count measure to the Values area
• Columns: add Date

Hi @Vemul ,

You don’t need to write separate measures for each owner/area/date combination, Power BI’s Matrix visual is designed for this kind of summary.

Create a simple count measure: RowCount = COUNTROWS(YourTable)

Or, if you need a unique count (like unique owners): OwnerCount = DISTINCTCOUNT(YourTable[Owner])

Set up your Matrix visual. Add your count measure as the Value. Power BI will automatically break out the counts for every combination no need for dozens of separate measures or complex SWITCH statements. The visual’s built-in filtering handles it all.

If you want to filter for special cases (like counting only when another column equals a value), just use CALCULATE to add your condition. For huge datasets, you can pre-aggregate in Power Query if performance ever becomes an issue, but for most cases the Matrix handles this easily.

You should be able to do that with the native matrix viz. Your measure can be as simple as COUNTROWS('table') if you're simply counting the rows or records in a table.

Hi,

Just create a simple matrix visua and drag this measure

Measure = countrows(Data)

Hope this helps.

Hi Ashish, 

countrows(data) is givng total row count, but I am looking for count for Owner+Area combination 

Thanks

Drag owner, area and date to the matrix visual.  The measure will read those as implicit filters and return the corect answer.
