Merging data without access to PowerQuery

Hiya,

 

So I'm wondering if theres a way to merge data for 2 coloumns ina  table, without access to transform the data. Seems the permissions we have on the datasets at work do not allow this.

 

Example data (made up scenario):

Shop NameSalesRevenueStaffCakes Remaining

Shop 1

10500.008100
Shop 215120.004200
Shop 310063.2238500
Shop 4209.225600

 

So in the above you can see there are 4 shops. When in reality, there is actually only 3 shops because Shop 3 and Shop 4 is one shop, reporting as 2 different shops (if that makes sense). So essentially, I would like to be able to have a table showing something like below:

 

Shop NameSalesRevenueStaffCakes Remaining

Shop 1

10500.008100
Shop 215120.004200
Shop 3 & Shop 4 Combined12072.4489100

 

I don't know if the above is possible, without the abaility to add an extra column and combine the data. Wondered if theres some sort of really elaborate measure I could use?

@RumSwift,

 

Try this calculated column using DAX:

 

Group = 
IF ( Table1[Shop Name] IN {"Shop 3", "Shop 4"}, "Shop 3 & Shop 4 Combined", Table1[Shop Name] )

Use this column "Group" in your visual.
