Hello,
I have a matrix in PowerBI with rows item category, item description, the column Year and the values Sales before Returns, Returns in Euro and Returns Quotas. The data looks like this:
| Article Category | Item description | Revenue before returns | Returns in Euro | Returns rate | Year | Retourn |
| B | C | 50 | 10 | 0,2 | 2021 | 0 |
| B | D | 100 | 36 | 0,36 | 2019 | 1 |
| A | E | 150 | 5 | 0,03333333 | 2022 | 1 |
| A | F | 200 | 35 | 0,175 | 2019 | 0 |
| B | C | 300 | 87 | 0,29 | 2022 | 1 |
| B | D | 250 | 10 | 0,04 | 2019 | 1 |
| A | E | 50 | 36 | 0,72 | 2019 | 1 |
| A | F | 100 | 5 | 0,05 | 2019 | 1 |
