Need help with Matrix Table

Hi all,

I am a new Power BI user. Currently i am trying to replicate the table as in the picture below.

1) How to segregate the year into quarters? (I already create a new column in the data source for quarters. However, i have no idea how to incorporate it in the table.

2)How to make (at least) the text visible? ( prefer to use symbols) The data is based on the inspection results from workorders

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Quarter values must also exist in your semantic model. You can create one using DAX or M. Ideally, you must  use a separate dimensions table. Add both Year and Quarter columns to the matrix visual and expand the column until Quarters are visible.

Please see the attached sample pbix.

 

Below is a sample custom column formula for quarter of the year (case-sensitive).
