How to group data columns in matrix based on binary value
I have a matrix table below, and have a condition "is supplier Mphasis" which is always yes or no. I want to create a column hierarchy? (not sure if that is the correct phrase) where it splits the data like the second picture below.
When I add the data to the condition data into the column section in power bi visualization, it splits the data but also adds a total section which i do not need.
I would also like to have the data grouped within the yes to be shown before the no.
Hi avacadoDaily ,
For your first query- When I add the data to the condition data into the column section in power bi visualization, it splits the data but also adds a total section which i do not need.
Solution: In SubTotals section, turn off the Per row level and Per column level option.
The setting should be like:
For your second query of the sorting order, please refer any of the below as per your suitability:

avacadoDaily add yes/no column after the existing column you have on columns, instead of this as the first column

The is mphasis is the only value in column, everything else is in rows and values.
