Hide column value and keep total in matrix

[carlottaf]

Hi everyone!

I have a table containing sales by month and a table having the budget by year.
I created a matrix having on the columns the month and on the values sales and budget.

I would like to show that sales by month and the budget only by year since I do not have the detail of the budget by month.

I was able to hide the columns of the budget for each month, shrinking the column width, but now the row height is increased.

This is the matrix I obtaied. Ideally I would like to keep the Budget € total and not the value fo reach month.

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Carlotta.

Hi @Anonymous !

I already tried this, but as you can see in the picture I posted, I was able to hide the column Budget for the months but the rows now have a very high height.

Is there a way to avoid it?

Thanks,

Carlotta.

Hi @carlottaf ,

If your original budget calculation formula is similar to sum('table'[budget), you can try to update the measure for budget as below. I just create a sample pbix file(see attachment) for you, please check whether it is OK...

budget =
IF (
    ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[field on Rows option] )
        && ISINSCOPE ( 'Table'[field on Columns option] ),
    BLANK (),
    SUM ( 'Table'[campaigns] )
)

If the above one is not working for your scenario, could you please provide the Fields pane setting of your matrix? Which field be put on Rows option? It is better if you can provide your simplified pbix file(exclude sensitive info). Thank you.

Best Regards

Thanks a lot for the suggestion!
Yes the calculation is something like sum('table'[budget). 
I will try your solution and let you know if this solves my problem.

If the problem persists, I will attach the pbix file.

Thanks again,
Carlotta.

@carlottaf , not possible by default. You need to use hybrid table workarounds
