Hi,
I have a table of Leads that basically has this structure:
| Category | Company |
| A | Com1 |
| A | Com1 |
| B | Com2 |
| A | Com5 |
| B | Com1 |
| C | Com2 |
| C | Com4 |
| A | Com3 |
| B | Com1 |
My actual table is much more complicated and the Category column is a DAX calculated column.
I need to be able to make a visual, either a table or a matrix, that looks like this:
| A | B | C |
| Com1 | Com2 | Com2 |
| Com1 | Com1 | Com4 |
| Com5 | Com1 | |
| Com3 |
So you can see each catgory along the top and a list of companies below that fall into each one. I tried setting up a matrix to do this, but couldn't get it to work.
I also wanted to unpivot to make this work, but the DAX calculated column can't be manipulted in Power Query. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
@Anonymous ,
What I can come out is to create three calculate tables like pattern below and create three table visuals though the duplicate values will be removed.
NewTableA = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] = "A"), "A", 'Table'[Company])
NewTableB = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] = "B"), "B", 'Table'[Company])
NewTableC = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] = "C"), "C", 'Table'[Company])

@Anonymous in matrix visual, put the category on columns and company on values, and you will get the same output.

hi @parry2k
Thank you for the help!
Unfortunately if you put a company name on values then you have to pick a summary, like First. I need them to show up as a list of companies under each category.
