Matrix - Change "Level" of columns & values in the Matrix

[patrick3]

Hi all,

So I've got an issue that seems like it should be simple to change, but I just can't work it out.
I'm using a matrix to display date by day of the month, with different metrics & want to compare 2 months - something like this:

However, it's is grouping the metrics by date (bins) (February & March in this case), but I'd like to have the metrics side by side for each month. In a PivotTable, you can just swap "Month" & "Values around, like in this example:



But I can't figure out how to do that here.

Anyone to the rescue?

Thanks,

Patrick

Does anyone know if this is possible by now? I also use measures and the problem is not in my data. 

Thanks,

Hi @patrick3,

Suppose the source table structure is similar to below. Under Query Editor mode, select [Leads], [Sales] and [ScvR] fields together, click "Unpivot Columns" to convert table structure.

You will get a new table like this:

When create the Matrix visual, add [Value Type] on the top of [Date(bins)] in "Columns" section. Also, click the third drill down icon.

There is a "work around" this problem. 

Step 1. Create a Table in your model specifying 2 Types of data (works with any quantity), in this case Sales and Leads. Your Table will have 2 columns, Id and Type with these values, Id 1 Type "Lead", Id 2 Type "Sales".

Step 2. Create a measure with a switch, 

New Measure = SWITCH(

SELECTEDVALUE('New_Table_Name'[Id])

,1,[Lead measure]

,2,[Sales Measure]

)

Step 3. Add to your Matrix column, just over months your columns name "Type" of the new Table.

Step 4. Add the "New measure" to your Table. 

This technique works wonders to switch around data on your visuals.

Hi @v-yulgu-msft,

Thanks that's very helpful - not quite the solution I need, as SCvR is a measure rather then a column.

Hi @patrick3,

That case, I'm afraid it is not able to change the Matrix structure as you required.

Hey,

currently this is not possible in the MATRIX view.

I recommend to create an idea on ideas.powerbi.com
