Matrix Stepped Layout first column show values all rows

Hi all,

 

I have the following data loading into my Power BI file:

I have disabled the stepped layout, but how can I make it possible to duplicate the value for the date for each row? So that it will be displayed as followed:

 

DateTimeLocation1Location2
02/05/202212:001232
02/05/202213:0021132
02/05/202214:00365
02/05/202215:004435
02/05/202216:005386
02/05/202217:002332
02/05/202218:00643867

 

I don't mind if I need do to this in Power Query or with a calculated column. But somehow I do not get it possible to get the format as above in my table/matrix.

@Anonymous ,

Have you tried creating two separate measures something like this

Location 1=calculate(<Measure Name>,Location="Location 1")

Location 2=calculate(<Measure Name>,Location="Location 2")

 

Please accept this as a solution if your question has been answered !!

Appreciate a Kudos 😀

Hey @Anonymous, 

My bad, select the location column, go on transform and click on pivot column, select value as Values column ( for you it would be Count)

Hi @philouduv,

 

Unfortunately I want to have it in the layout how you displayed it in the first image.

Below is how the data will be loaded into Power Query

@philouduv thank you! This is exactly what I needed, and with this way I do not need to create several measures.

Hi @Anonymous ,

If you need to provide a drill down functionality then as per my understanding you would not be able to get the same output you are looking for as per your query. However you can use a table instead if the drill down functionality is not required.

Hi @jaideepnema ,

 

thank you for your reply. I don't need the drill down functionality, but when I display it as a table it will not be displayed in my prefferred layout. It will display it then as followed:
