Matrix visualization: assigning (fixed) values in Total cell

[Anonymous]

Can we assign a value, which is not an aggregation of other values in the subsection of the matrix visualization. 

eg. in the below table, the yellow cells are not sum, average, or any other calculation from other values in the column, but a target value defined by business..

You could use a measure for the second column and use the ISINSCOPE() function to determine what value to use. For example, I created the following 2 tables in PBI (also: please never post pictures of tables because now we have to recreate it for you):

Country	Person	Actual Sales	Target Sales
USA	Person1	150	150
USA	Person2	160	130
USA	Person3	120	140
Canada	Person1	200	250
Canada	Person2	100	200
Canada	Person3	150	150
Mexico	Person1	100	120
Mexico	Person2	100	130
Mexico	Person3	100	140
Country	Target Sales
USA	350
Canada	540
Mexico	360

I then created the following measure, which looks at the current context and determines if it is evaluated in a Country context of Person context. If it is the first case, than it will lookup the corresponding sales target in the second table, otherwise it will sum the Sales[Target Sales] column:

TargetSalesMeasure = 
SWITCH( TRUE(), 
    ISINSCOPE(Sales[Person]), SUM(Sales[Target Sales]),
    LOOKUPVALUE(CountryTargets[Target Sales], CountryTargets[Country], SELECTEDVALUE(Sales[Country])))

This results in the following matrix:

Neat stuff huh? 🙂 Let me know if this answers your question!
