Need help setting up Matrix

[VladyOselsky]

Hello,

I'm not sure if there is functionality in defaul visual to achive the following. I have setup measures to Calculate Sales Total, Sales Quantity and other related information. After that I added column to my matrix that breaks it into different categories.

I want to be able to group all categories under a each measures instead of grouping measures under each category. Currently my matrix looks like example 1. But I want to convert it to look like example 2.

I have tried to use Options -> Switch Values to Rows which looks better but it makes it harder to see trendes over months for each section as it produces extra rows.

I really don't want to setup measures for each category in the following matter SalesTotalAll, SalesTotalGear, SalesTotalClothing, SalesTotalMisc etc.

Hi , @VladyOselsky 

According to your description, you want to convert the Matrix visual , do you mean you want to make this:

If this , you can create a dimension table 'table 2' like this:

Then we can create a measure based on youe second measure :

Measure = 
var _type =  MAX('Table 2'[Column1])
return
IF(_type = "Sales Total" ,  SUMX( VALUES('Table'[Categories]) , [Sales Total]) , IF( _type="Sales Quanity" , SUMX( VALUES('Table'[Categories]) , [Sales Quantity])))

The result is as follows:

If this method does not meet your needs, you can provide us with your special sample data and the desired output sample data in the form of tables, so that we can better help you solve the problem. (You can also upload you sample .pbix [without sensitive data] to the OneDrive and share with the OneDrive link to me ! )

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!

Hi,

As far as i know, this is not possible to do.  One will have to use calculations Groups in the Tabular Editor.
