I have a matrix which returns this
But I want to manipulate in such a way so that it brings only {factTwo} for month1 and {factOne,factTwo} for month2. My desired output is below
| month | 1 | 2 | 2 |
| category | factTwo | factOne | factTwo |
| cat3 | 14,021 | 621 | 14,021 |
| cat4 | 14,021 | 621 | 14,021 |
I tried to achieve this with Tabular Editor but I caould not make it work. Is it possible to achieve?
Thank you in advance.
@smpa01 you can easily achieve this with calculation groups.
here is a high level of how you will do it, assuming you have two measures called "Measure Fact 1" and "Measure Fact 2"
- create a calculation group with two calculation items, let's call those fact 1 and fact 2
- in fact 1 calculation item, you will check if the selected value = month 1 then return blank else return "measure fact 1"
- in fact 2 you will always return "measure fact 2"
on matrix visual:
- category on rows
- month and column from new calculation group
- in value, use any one measure
Please try and let me know if you run into any issues.
Cheers!
