How to create custom matrix structure with dynamic headers from measures

Hi,

 

I am looking for custom matix structure with dynamic headers coming from created measures.

my existing structure look like below.

 

Prodcut service  total %total open Open% Close close%
Phase 5               2     13%      5         100%    0        0%
Phase 4               0      0%       5         100%   0        0%
Phase 3               5      33%     0           0%     3        100%
Phase 2               3      20%    1           50%    1        50%
Phase 1               5      33%     0           0%     0         0%
Total                  15     100%   1           13%    4         26%

 

In the above all column headers are done from measures and iwould like to create new header for goruping 2 columns as one set for example

for measures total and %total  i need to create new header "TOTAL" with merge and style .

for measures Open and %open i need to create new header "Open" with merge and style .

for measures close and %close i need to create new header "Close" with merge and style .

my overall expected output like below

 

 Total Open close 
Service TypesTotal% totalOpen%OpenClose%Close
Phase 1533.33%5100.00%00.00%
Phase 2533.33%5100.00%00.00%

Hi @Mahi1827 ,

Based on your description, although the expected output is clear, not certain whar does your measure look like and the sample file is no longer to download.

Could you please consider re-sharing the sample file for further discussion?

 

Best Regards,
Yingjie Li
