Inverted column grid possible?

[Sakshi_S]

I have 3 columns as date, channel and topic of discussion and wanted to show them in a grid as below. Can you please help me know how this can be done in Power BI?

Hi,

Create a Calendar Table with an active relationship (Many to One and Single) from the Date column of your Data Table to the Date column of the Calendar Table.  To your visual, drag Date from the Calendar Table.  Write these measures

Measure1 = min(Data[Channel])

Measure2 = min(Data[Topic of discussion])

Hope this helps.

Hi @Sakshi_S ,
Based on your description, I created the following test data

If you want to achieve the effect you want, first click on Transform data and open the power query.

Change the name of date as date.1 and Select the date column and UNpivot the other columns.

Close and apply and create matrix visual

Final output

Of course, you can also open the advance editor and enter the M code into it.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTUNzTQNzIwMlbSUXJOzMkBUi6ZxamJxakKxSWJJalKsTpAVUb6hhbEqDIygqkKy0xJzceuTN8QpMgEKOlm5AYknYoS81JgUqZ45MxgcjDDobKxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Date = _t, Channel = _t, #"Topic of dicussion" = _t]),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(Source,{{"Date", "Date.1"}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Renamed Columns", {"Date.1"}, "Date", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"
