Hi,
I'm looking for help on how to exclude the aggregation of a second value for certain columns in a Matrix I have a image below of what I mean. I want to remove the highlighted value, but keep the "Total" value. I am comparing actuals to forecast, and I don't need the forecast to be compared to each column. Thanks 🙂
Hi @SillySuzy ,
I can give you a workaround:
Try to use DAX instead of the Total of matrix. Close the Column subtotals:
And use DAX to calculated the Total, for example:
Total_SUM_Amount =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Category]),
'Table'[Type] = "Amount"
)
Total_SUM_F3 =
CALCULATE(
SUM('Table'[Value]),
ALLEXCEPT('Table', 'Table'[Category]),
'Table'[Type] = "F3"
)
Then just put these two measures into the Values of the matrix:
And you can only need to put Amount into this matrix without F3.
If you have any other questions about the workaround I provided, it would be helpful if you could provide a little sample data.
Best Regards,
Dino Tao

There is no simple way like Excel Pivot tables.
either build an Asymmetrical table yourself as I cover here https://exceleratorbi.com.au/building-a-matrix-with-asymmetrical-columns-and-rows-in-power-bi/
or use a third party visual such as InfoRiver
