In Power BI, the data is formatted so that category X is the name of the column but I needed to the category name to be part of the legend so I pivoted the column after duplicating that table.
In my visual, I needed a total revenue slicer that slices across charts using the original table and the duplicated table.
I tried connecting the revenue amounts (this was not one of the columns pivoted) between the table but this is where it got funky because of the pivoting. It's a many to many cardinality and a single cross functional direction and is not active.
Any suggestions on how to move forward?
Generally, the solution is to create a new table using the SUMMARIZE function and add 2 relationships.
Step 1: I make a summarize table 'category X_Index' in 'Table view'.
category X_Index = SUMMARIZE('DATA_Table','DATA_Table'[category X])
Step 2: I add 2 relationships in 'Model view'.
'DATA_Table'<---'category X_Index'--->'pivoted DATA_Table'
