Please help a newbie with very simple static table

[mvi]

Hi there,

I am very new to Power BI and need to create a report that displays the following table:

------------------------------------------------------
|   Cohort       |       ABC       |         XYZ     |
------------------------------------------------------
|   Measure      | Fam | Sib |Total| Fam | Sib |Total|
------------------------------------------------------
|   Value        |100  |200  | 300 | 400 | 500 | 900 |
------------------------------------------------------

Everything in this table is static except for the 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, values in the last row. These values will come from measures. I believe I know how to create the measures by using DAX. I would appreciate any pointers on what stuff to read to be able to develop this very simple report.

Thank you!

Not quite understand your requirement. Do you mean the Value should be a measure rather than a column? It doesn't matter. you can replace the field with measure, such as:

Thanks Phil!

How do I replace the 100 and 200 values with actual counts (measures) from my SQL Server database?

Thanks again!

One last question: how to I change column captions in the table, such as "ValueMeasure"?
