Percentiles / quartiles and matrix on data in unpivoted columns

 

I have a large data set with 200 plus columns and 300 plus rows.

 

Some of these columns contain a ranking value of a corresponding result column (within an individual year) e.g the 2017 results for the 14 areas are ranked with each other and the 2016 results for the 14 areas are ranked with eachother.

 

When the file is exported into PowerBI the columns with the data in (in the example below, Number of people, result and rank) are Unpivoted to allow me to build slicers which is working great.

 

However, I would now like to do the following things:

 

Show which quartile the ranking falls into (A = top 25%, b and C = middle 50%, D = bottom 25%) - and being able to show this visually (dark green, light green, amber and red)

 

Also create a matrix with several measures in.

 

Is it possible to do this without having to have a second identicle data set with unpivoted columns?
