How to visualize data from a long term plan consisting of multiple spreadsheets
Hi Lydia,
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond to my questions. I was hoping there would be a solution that does not involve "unpivoting" or normalization of the costs tables, and still would allow me to visualize the data in ways similar to the following:
![20181011 Sample visualization]("H:\Other Content\Data\Work\Archives\2018\Analytics\20180910 Pjt 26 Digitization potentials for CPC\20181011 Sample visualization.PNG")
where the Costs and EBITDA are the average Costs and average EBITDA of each Asset over 2019-2021. So far, I could only do this by first calculating the 2019-2021 averages into a table. Any instructions that could show me how I could save this first step, perhaps by joining the Costs tables in some ways, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much in advance.

Do you need to add Year to X-Axis in your bar chart? Could you please share me your current PBIX file?

LydiaHi Lydia,
Adding "Year" to the x-axis would be informative, but I could live with only being able to see one year at a time (or the average of a few years) like the graphs I have included on Oct 11. Having said that, the bigger challenge for me is how I could avoid the process of normalizing the data supplied to me in the format as per attached every time the forecasts are updated. (Please see attached Excel documents.) I apologize I do not have authority to share the pbix file which contain commercially confidential projections. Thanks much in advance.

Victor
vchan,
I am unable to access the above link. You can share dummy data of your table here and post expected result based on sample data. And you can upload Excel file to OneDrive and then post shared link of Excel file here.
