Hi all, so I have a matrix in PowerBI that looks as follows:
I am wondering if it possible to create a custom row in the top row of the table that would look something like this:
The Budget and Forecast exist in my data currently but the only way I have found to add them adds them as another column rather tahn another row on top of the data which is what I am after. I am wondering if it is possible to link my data into a custom row like this and if not is there a possibility to just hardcode the data in and I can enter it myself.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi All
Firstly Greg_Deckler thank you for your solution!
And @agram ,after all this time, have you solved the problem you are experiencing, if you are still experiencing problems with the new table, I have written the DAX based on your example data, I hope it can help you!
NewTable =
UNION(
SELECTCOLUMNS(
'Table',
"Month", [Month],
"Week", [Week],
"# day", [# day],
"COND Ratio", [COND Ratio],
"FIELD", [FIELD]
),
ROW(
"Month", "April",
"Week", "Budget",
"# day", BLANK(),
"COND Ratio", 15,
"FIELD", 20
),
ROW(
"Month", "April",
"Week", "Forecast",
"# day", BLANK(),
"COND Ratio", 16,
"FIELD", 21
)
)
If you have any other questions, you can check out the PBIX file I uploaded, and I'd be honoured if my answer solves your problem!
Hope it helps!

@agram Well, there's a way but it's really ugly. The New Hotness (Custom Matrix Hierarchy) - Microsoft Fabric Community
Just read your write up.. Looks exactly like what I am looking for! Just wondering though, in your write up you create new columns, how am I able to create new rows with a hierarchy?
@agram It should be the same technique but you would use the disconnected table for the rows instead of the columns. Or, you may have to use a disconnected table for both the rows and the columns. If you post sample data as text I might have time to look at it more in-depth.
