How to create a matrix with one table column as matrix row and column header?

I am trying to compare conversion rates when exchanging from one country to another. I have column Country as the rows and columns of my Matrix as shown below, and I am trying to populate it with a measure which is the percentage difference in coversion accross countries.

My measure = 

=
var index1 = LOOKUPVALUE(LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Index],LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country],SELECTEDVALUE(LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country]))
var index2 = LOOKUPVALUE(LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Index],LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country], SELECTEDVALUE(LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country]))
return
index1/index2

The above does not work, what am I doing wrong. My desired output is as shown below:

HI @arsalaan,

You can try to modify the allselected to all to ignore the filter effects:

measure formula =
VAR currCountry =
    VALUES ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] )
VAR newCountry =
    VALUES ( NewTable[Country] )
VAR value1 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Index] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON ),
            LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] IN currCountry
        )
    )
VAR value2 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Index] ),
        FILTER (
            ALL ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON ),
            LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] IN newCountry
        )
    )
RETURN
    value1 / value2

If these also don't help, can you please share a pbix or some dummy data that keep the raw data structure? They wil help us clarify your scenario and test to coding formula.

HI @arsalaan,

AFIAK, current power bi does not support to get different values from the same source table field at the same time.

In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you create a new unconnected table with all country values, then you can use this field with raw table country as row and column to design the matrix.

NewTable =
DISTINCT ( ALL ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] ) )

measure formula =
VAR currCountry =
    VALUES ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] )
VAR newCountry =
    VALUES ( NewTable[Country] )
VAR value1 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Index] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON ),
            LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] IN currCountry
        )
    )
VAR value2 =
    CALCULATE (
        SUM ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Index] ),
        FILTER (
            ALLSELECTED ( LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON ),
            LOCATION_ADJUSTMENT_CON[Country] IN newCountry
        )
    )
RETURN
    value1 / value2
