Matrix multiple measures display

[Tiphany01]

Dear all,

I have the below data in excel and I would like to create a pivot in PowerBI as shown below. But I am unable to achieve the view I need. (Column Header interchange) The below is just an example :

Sample data:

Animals	Type	Legs	Weight
Lion	Wild	4	200
Tiger	Wild	4	220
Dog	Domestic	4	15
Cat	Domestic	4	5

Currently in PowerBI:

Desired View:

I have come across few posts suggesting unpivotting / calculation groups as a probable solution. But the dataset is of huge capacity and dont think both are feasable. Are there any other ways to achieve the desired view?

Hi @Tiphany01 

Thanks for reaching out to us.

You can try this, create the table

Table1 = GENERATE(
    VALUES('Table'[Animals]),
    {"Legs","Weight"})

then create a measure

Measure = 
    IF(MAX([Value])="Weight",
        CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Weight]),FILTER('Table',[Type]=MAX([Type])&&[Animals]=MAX('Table1'[Animals]))),
        CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Legs]),FILTER('Table',[Type]=MAX([Type])&&[Animals]=MAX('Table1'[Animals]))))

result

@Tiphany01 , You need to unpivot the columns for that, Then only you will be able to move leg and weight up
