Matrix Visual

Hi All,

 

I am working on matrix visual and I have multiple year data and based on the year slicer I want my data to reflect. Also the header in the matrix should change dynamically. Eg if I select the year as 2024 then the sales, commission & Volumes should show Previous (year- 2023) and the rest should show year as 2024.

Any help on this is really appreciated.

Hi @janani80 

 

This is possible but the approach is not very straightforward. You'll need a disconnected table to hold the name of the measures and sales is sorted twice, being the first one and then after volumes, another column has to be created that has a different value that still appears as sales thus the calculated column in the screenshot below.

Then you will need two more disconnected tables both containing the years - the first one will be used as a dimension while the other one in a slicer.

 

And then the measures that will bind these unrelated tables in a visual.

Switch Measure = 
VAR SelectedSort =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calculations'[Sort] )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        SelectedSort,
        1, [Sales Amt],
        2, [Commission Amt],
        3, [Volumes Amt],
        4, [Sales Amt],
        5, [Calls Amt],
        6, [Rejections Amt],
        7, [Leads Amt]
    )

 

Dynamic Measure = 
VAR SelectedSort =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( 'Calculations'[Sort] )
VAR SelectedYear =
    SELECTEDVALUE ( Years2[Year] )
RETURN
    IF (
        SelectedSort <= 2,
        CALCULATE (
            [Switch Measure],
            FILTER (
                VALUES ( DateTable[Year] ),
                DateTable[Year]
                    IN VALUES ( Years[Year] )
                        && DateTable[Year] < SelectedYear
            )
        ),
        IF (
            SELECTEDVALUE ( Years[Year] ) = SelectedYear,
            CALCULATE ( [Switch Measure], KEEPFILTERS ( DateTable[Year] = SelectedYear ) )
        )
    )

And here's the output
