How to pivot a table (created using DAX-SUMMARIZED, not Power Query) on a column?
Hi, Anonymous
According to your description, you want to pivot a table (created using DAX-SUMMARIZED, not Power Query) on a column. Right?
Here are the steps you can follow：
(1)This is my test data: ‘Test’
(2) We can click “New Table” and enter DAX :
Table = ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE('Test','Test'[GATEGORY]) ,
"2019" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2019},Test[YEAR])),
"2020" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2020},Test[YEAR])),
"2021" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2021},Test[YEAR])),
"2022" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2022},Test[YEAR]))
)
(3)Then we can meet your need , the result is as follows :
And according to what you said later, if you want to display the corresponding effect in the Matrix visual object, you can hide the previous [GATEGORY] in the following ways:
(1)We can close wrap function in "Format" pane:
(2) We can hover over our header and drag to hide the fields for our column:
If this method cannot help you solve the problem, you can delete your private data and provide your sample data in the form of a table or .pbix file, and describe your detailed needs, so that we can better help you solve the problem.

Thank you for this. I tried running it, but after the TREATAS, I get the error that it failed to resolve name 'WETCH'.
My variables are slightly different, and instead of year, I have WETCH and PRED data. So my long table looks like:
Variable Type Value
Beef WETCH 80
Beef WETCH 75
Beef PRED 82
Beef PRED 76
And I would like the final table to look like this:
Variable PRED WETCH
Beef 79 77.5
I have many more variables besides just Beef though.
Here is my code I was trying:
table =
ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE('Main','Main'[Variable]) ,
"WETCH" , CALCULATE( AVERAGE('Main'[Value]) , TREATAS( {WETCH},Main[Type])),
"PRED" , CALCULATE( AVERAGE('Main'[Value]) , TREATAS( {PRED},Main[Type])),)
The red error lines come on the word just after the "TREATAS", so "WETCH" and "PRED" between the {} brackats.
Any ideas of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you.
Helper IVFor anyone reading this thread and having the same problem as Anonymous (and me!) with the TREATAS function, you need to put the names in the {} brackets in between ""
Okay, that worked. I changed my code to:
table =
ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE('Main','Main'[Variable]) ,
"WETCH" , CALCULATE( AVERAGE('Main'[Value]) , TREATAS( {"WETCH"},Main[Type])),
"PRED" , CALCULATE( AVERAGE('Main'[Value]) , TREATAS( {"PRED"},Main[Type])))Okay, so another question. Is there a way to only show rows with both WETCH and PRED having populated values? So in that table, if one of the values are blank, have the row be empty.
Thank you!!
The mention of a strategy that works above is different:
Table = ADDCOLUMNS( SUMMARIZE('Test','Test'[GATEGORY]) ,
"2019" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2019},Test[YEAR])),
"2020" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2020},Test[YEAR])),
"2021" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2021},Test[YEAR])),
"2022" , CALCULATE( SUM('Test'[TOTAL]) , TREATAS( {2022},Test[YEAR]))
)
So the rule is likely: wrap in quotes when the value is string/text and do not wrap in quotes when the value is a number.
