Inserting Excel matrix into Power BI table

I currently have a slicer where the user selects the origin and a list of destinations are shown with their distance in miles. I am wanting to add another column after distance to be days to destination from the one origin to all the destinations. This information is housed in an excel matrix and I am unsure how to add it to the table as a column. There are photos below showing the slicer and table and also the excel matrix. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

  • One option is to unpivot your Excel matrix to arrive at a table with these columns 

     

    Place A     Place B     Distance

     

    For simplicity you may want to repeat the table with Place A and Place B swapped.

    Then you can link that to your other tables.

      I followed your advice. Thank you!

  • Anonymous , the data you shared and the output you want I am not able to relate. It needs to copy two to display this .

    Can you share sample data and sample output in table format?
