Matrix Visual

Hello,

I am trying to set up a visual that will list a category by row, quarters in the columns and the actual list of names in the values instead of the count of names.  I am searching everywhere and reading through a ton of submissions on this board but not finding anything. I am open to using any visualization but this is what I have using the Matrix:

Is there a way to convert the numbers into the actual list of names?

 

Thanks

Hi @dhaley ,

You may need to enable the "Show items with no data" option for the rows of Matrix visual.

And I have a test ,see the below:

Wish it is helpful for you!

You can try this measure expression

 

ListOfNames = CONCATENATEX(VALUES(Table[ColumnOfNames]), Table[ColumnOfNames], "

")

 

The carriage return is intentional above, so that each name is on a new line.  You can replace with "," or whatever delimiter you want.

@dhaley you can create a measure that will concatenate the names but it will not look pretty.
