Matrix with Text Column in the Values
Hi,
I need to put the text column to the Values section in the matrix visual so that the First aggregation will be used like in the picture. This is the picture from the other person's report, but no matter how I tried Power BI doesn't let me put my text column in the values section. How can I achieve this?
Hi Anonymous
You can create a measure with some kind of aggregation on desired column.For example:
myText = max('table'[needed column]
If it won't work,
please provide sample data that covers your issue or question completely, in a usable format (not as a screenshot).
