Matrix visual with tabular data

Hello,

 

I have a tabular data that is stored in the form of a matrix with multiple hierarchies. I want to show this data in the form of a matrix with both expand and collapse option. However, the issue here is that the values in that hierarchy are to be shown without any aggregation such as sum, max, min etc. However, in matrix this is not possible. It is always shown as aggregated value. Is it possible to customize matrix visual to show without any aggregation or is there any other visual, may be a custom one for the same purpose?

 

 

Thanks,

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

I have a few suggestions for you to see if they work.

Set the matrix visual format

1 turn off the Row subtotals

Result:

2 turn off the Stepped layout

Result:

Is this the result you want?

Thanks for the comments but the values are still reported as aggregated when collapsed to the top level or in between. What I want is the actual values to be reported without any sum or min or max or avg. Seems like this is only supported in table but that visual misses out the +/- icons.

In order to get the desired result, you can add an index column in the power query to your data table and use it in your matrix to show the level of granularity you need.

Thanks for the help. I did try using index column and it worked partially as I can see the actual values when all rows are expanded. However, when I collapsed to the top level, the total sum is again evaluated and the wrong values are reported on the columns. It seems that index does a trick but only when all the rows are expanded and without stepped layout. But this trick does misses out the sole purpose of navigating through +/- icons. Still better than the rest. And hence, looking for some other proper alternatives, otherwise I will close this post marking it as accepted.

 

Thanks again
