Hello!
I'm new to PowerBI. I want to know if it's possible for the total column to be at the leftmost part of my matrix and how? I want to see it as the first column.
What I have in the matrix:
Row - n/a
Column - Category
Values = Measures 1-5
| Category A | Category B | Category C | Category D | Total | |
| Measure 1 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 3 | 21 |
| Measure 2 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 6 | 17 |
| Measure 3 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 9 | 19 |
| Measure 4 | 9 | 8 | 3 | 6 | 26 |
| Measure 5 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 2 | 15 |
What I want the matrix to be:
| Total | Category A | Category B | Category C | Category D | |
| Measure 1 | 21 | 5 | 7 | 6 | 3 |
| Measure 2 | 17 | 3 | 3 | 2 | 6 |
| Measure 3 | 19 | 4 | 4 | 2 | 9 |
| Measure 4 | 26 | 9 | 8 | 3 | 6 |
| Measure 5 | 15 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 2 |
@ChristianDLS56 , I doubt that. You have to use hybrid visual workaround
