How To Display Row Header Below Value

Is there a way to display the row header below the value?

I would like something similar to the example below, but I can't find any instructions online.

I think you can with New Card. You can also embed a SVG image in a measure and show the image in the card if you want something more exciting than a emoji 😊

Hi @TLW_STL 

 

It looks like you're using a matrix. Matrix will always display the headers above the values. You can however use a disconnected table to return a value based on row value of a column.

Invisible character is used as the column although you can set the color to make it blend with the background.

Then these measures are added to the matrix

Rev/Txn = 
SWITCH (
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Custom Matrix'[Sort] ),
    1, [Total Revenue],
    2, [Total Transactions]
)

Metric Name = 
SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Custom Matrix'[Category] )

Rev/Txn is then conditionally formatted base on another measure or certain criteria. I used this measure in the image above.

Rev/Txn vs Previous Month = 
VAR _prev =
    CALCULATE ( [Rev/Txn], PREVIOUSMONTH ( Dates[Date] ) )
VAR _diff = [Rev/Txn] - _prev
RETURN
    DIVIDE ( _diff, _prev )

 

Please see the attached sample pbix.

@TLW_STL , 

what type of visual you are using? 
In card visual it is default to below the value.

Hi Manikumar34, I specifically need a measure similar to what you show above, but with an up/down arrow that changes color, depending on whether the variance is positive/negative.  I am going to look more into the New Card mentioned above.  Thanks!

@TLW_STL , 
on the new card you should change the position from Callout Values>Label>Position>Below Value. On the old card visual is default.

I don't think formatting icons on new card visual is possible. I haven't used it, work around and see if it works. But if you want to do soemthing similar with old visual then you will have create a measure and use that on another card to display the icons. Format and group both the visuals to look like one visual.

If you use Cards or the New Card Visual then yes the Label can be below the value

Thank you, Deku, for the response.  If I use a Card or New Card, I do not think I can use conditional formatting for icon and font color, is that correct?  That is why I did not use a Card previously.  Thanks!

I think you can with New Card. You can also embed a SVG image in a measure and show the image in the card if you want something more exciting than a emoji 😊
