Matrix automatically summing columns

Hi All,

I am trying to create a matrix in excel using multiple different tables with percentages, but when I put them into the table they are all showing the same value for each row. For example the rows I am using are:

And the data I am trying to put into the table is:

 

I want the matrix in PowerBi to look like this

Or even like this:

 

But the matrix keeps summing the columns (it is set to no calculation) like this:

 

How can I get all the columns into the matrix showing as their values even when the rows don't match perfectly?

Thanks:)

    KristenMackey,

    Based on the above sample data, you can directly use Letter field to create relationship among the four tables, then create a table visual to get expected result in Power BI Desktop.

  • Hi,

     

    You can simply merge all tables into 1 using query editor (Home > Edit Queries > Home > Combine > Merge Queries).  That will get you your desired dataset
