Hi, I am trying to create a stacked bar chart which shows 4 products currently split by column and there are different phases of the product. I have attached sample data and expected output.
Is there any way to achieve this without having to unpivot the data?
The challenge I have is the data is already gone through ETL but due to new requirements need to make this work. Am I better off creating a reference query and carry out the unpivot transformation there?

Hi @nh27 ,
I made a sample for you with dax.
Measure = SWITCH(SELECTEDVALUE('Table'[Value]),
"Product A",COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table1',NOT(ISBLANK([Product A])))),
"Product B",CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table1',NOT(ISBLANK([Product B])))),USERELATIONSHIP(Table1[Product B],'Table 2'[Value])),
"Product C",CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table1',NOT(ISBLANK([Product C])))),USERELATIONSHIP(Table1[Product C],'Table 2'[Value])),
"Product D",CALCULATE( COUNTROWS(FILTER('Table1',NOT(ISBLANK([Product D])))),USERELATIONSHIP(Table1[Product D],'Table 2'[Value]))
)

Thank you very much, this worked a charm!
Hi @nh27 - You can create a reference query and then apply the unpivot operation like this:
This will give you a more dynamic and flexible structure, where phases are represented in a single column, and you can easily build stacked bar charts based on these dynamically.
pls check and let know if it works.

Hi, thanks for this. I have already test this method and it worked, just wasn't sure if there was another way to do this via DAX Measures and whatnot.
create separate measure for each phase in Power BI as like below:
Phase1_Measure = SUM(Products[Phase1])
Phase2_Measure = SUM(Products[Phase2])
Phase3_Measure = SUM(Products[Phase3])
