Is there a way I can pivot by measures that are displayed 'on rows' in the matrix?
Here is the context.
I have 5-6 measures that calculate week by week how many sales leads flowed through the sales process, like below. The database contains a timestamp for each stage which I have inactive relationships that I write measures for to count up the tallys.
| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | |
| Stage 1 Counts | 3 | 1 | 4 |
| Stage 2 Counts | 2 | 0 | 2 |
| Stage 3 Counts | 4 | 1 | 2 |
I now need to add a layer with lead stage counts by Source by week, and the requestors have asked for a format such that the Measures would be the pivot, like so:
| Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | ||
| Stage 1 Counts | ||||
| Web | 2 | 1 | 0 | |
| 1 | 0 | 2 | ||
| MarketingEvent | 0 | 0 | 2 |
I can't figure out a way to get this to work, I can get the Source as the Pivot but that looks fairly messy as it duplicates each set of measures for every marketing source and becomes cumbersome quickly.
Hi @Anonymous ,
In my opinion, measures are not used for perspective, but are data for indicator aggregation. You can put measures on rows in a matrix in power Bi through the wonderful blog post written by Matt Allington, or try to carry out row column rotation in pivot column in power query
