How to use matrix data result to generate a new chart

Hello,

 

I've struggling to create a very specific report where what I want is to use this Matrix down below (which is calculated by using % Total of the Row) to create a Line Chart.

 

How can I achieve the same result from this Matrix in a Line chart?

Hi @jvbs ,

 

 

I made a simple sample imitating your data.

You can create a measure to help you meet your needs:

 

% total =

DIVIDE (

    SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),

    CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Table'[Sales] ),ALL( 'Table'[Product] ) )

)

 

Then use this measure instead of the “sales” in your matrix.

Then change the format in value pane to “show values as percentage of row total”.

Then click line chart in the visualization filed> Add date to the axis> add the measure to the value and category as legend.

You will get a result like this:

A demo is attached for your reference.

 

 

Hope it helps,

@jvbs Select the matrix and then click on Line chart?

DAX is easy, CALCULATE makes DAX hard...

Sorry @Greg_Deckler couldn't give much details at first sight.

 

But unfortunately it changes the "% total per row" that i've made on my matrix.

@jvbs Whatever you were using in your columns, put that in your Legend.

Forgot to do that on my last reply, sorry.

But even doing that the results keeps different, for example, month 2021-08:

And how it should be:

This behavior keeps happening. Do you know how I can achieve what i want?
