Hi @HaiVN ,

tableHeatMap is a single row of measures, and then if you want to display all the results, consider using a calculation group, which contains multiple measures.

Hi @HaiVN ,

Thank you for @jrescalante answer , and I have other suggestions for you:

It's true that neither tables nor matrices in Power BI have legend functionality, and if you want to see the compartments through the legend, I recommend using the custom visual's tableHeatMap, which shows each compartment segment.

Below is my table:

You can create a tableHeatMap like this:

Hi @HaiVN ,

I create two measure:

Measure = SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Year - 2010])


Measure 2 = SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Year - 2011])

I tested it and found that it was possible to put measure into a tableHeatMap

There´s no support at the moment to create legends from a table or matrix.
