Hi @Rajiv1237,
You can refer to below steps to achieve your requirement.
1. Output needed in PowerBI:
Drag month to Rows filed, year to Columns fields, year and qty to Values fields.
2. Output Achieved in PowerBI:
Add a calculate to column to merge month and year.
Sample:
Date=CONCATENATE([Month]&".",[Year])
Use above calculate column as the Rows of the matrix, year to Columns field, QTY and measure to columns field.
Regards,
Xiaoxin Sheng
Issue was with my PowerBI solution:
I have DateKey identity column and I have sorted my Month column with that DateKey.
After removing Month column sorting with DateKey column I got the desired output.
And for sorting Month column instead of identity column I used
For Month column value January DateKey Column Value = 1
Update Query:
Update [dbo].[YearQty]
SET DateKey = CASE
WHEN [Month] = 'January' THEN 1
WHEN [Month] = 'February' THEN 2
WHEN [Month] = 'March' THEN 3
WHEN [Month] = 'April' THEN 4
WHEN [Month] = 'May' THEN 5
WHEN [Month] = 'June' THEN 6
WHEN [Month] = 'July' THEN 7
WHEN [Month] = 'August' THEN 8
WHEN [Month] = 'September' THEN 9
WHEN [Month] = 'October' THEN 10
WHEN [Month] = 'November' THEN 11
WHEN [Month] = 'December' THEN 12
END

Hello Xiaoxin Sheng,
I need help to get output shown in Screenshot 1: Need this output in PowerBI.
I already tried the steps mentioned by you:
Month column in Rows
Year column in Columns
Qty column in values
But I get output like shown in screenshot 3 😞 .
Screenshot1: Need this output in PowerBI
Screenshot 2: Raw Data
Screenshot 3: Output got by putting month in Rows, Year in Columns and Qty in Values
