Help recreating a unique table in excel

 

I would like to recreate the table in the screenshot below. I am wondering if the best way to do this would be a calculated table but I am im not sure and I am open to suggestions.

 

In the table below

sales target and sales actuals is raw data from my data set.

Difference is a calculation (Sales actuals less sales target)

Attainment is a calculation(Sales actuals/Sales target)

YTD Column is a calcaution

Total column is a calculation

Hello @dwhittaker1 

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

Thank you @danextian for your prompt response.

To recreate the table in Power BI, use a Disconnected Table and a SWITCH DAX measure.

  1. Create a Disconnected Table for Measure Names and create a Measure to Switch Between Values.
  2. Next, add a Matrix Visual from the Visualizations pane.

I have attached a PBIX file for a more detailed understanding. Please review it:

Hi @dwhittaker1 

This approach requires a disconnected table along with measures that reference it. Attached is a sample PBIX file using this method.
