Matrix/Pivot with a Date Time Column

Hello,

 

I have a data set having columns as Customer (Text), Resolved Date (Date Time) and a measure FCR %.

 

I would like to create a matrix/pivot with Customers as Row, Month-Year as columns (for the last 13 months - if I see this today, it will be Aug-2023 to Aug-2024) and FCR% in the value.

 

Can you please suggest if/how this can be achieved? - if I try with the current setup, columns are giving complete date time (and not group by Month-Year).

 

Thank you.

Hi @MadhavDholakia -In the table containing your Resolved Date column, add this DAX calculated column

MonthYear = FORMAT([Resolved Date], "MMM-YYYY")

To show only the last 13 months (from the current date), you can create a Date Table with a calculated column that filters the dates dynamically.

DateTable = CALENDAR(DATE(YEAR(TODAY()) - 1, MONTH(TODAY()), 1), TODAY())

you can add a calculated column to this Date Table to keep only the last 13 months:

IsLast13Months =
IF(
[Date] >= EDATE(TODAY(), -12) && [Date] <= TODAY(),
1,
0
)

 

This will return 1 for dates within the last 13 months and 0 otherwise.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi @MadhavDholakia ,

 

You can try the following steps.


Create another calculated column in the same table that is used to sort the MonthYear calculated column.

Sort-MonthYear = FORMAT([Resolved Date], "MMM-YYYY")

 

Then select the /Month-Year/ calculated column and click the /SortByColumn/ button to select the sorted column just created.

Then return to the matrix visual and the MonthYear column should be sorted in the correct order.
