Selecting dimension to show in matrix

Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I want to know if it is possible to have show selected dimension even if wihout value.

BrandFlavor/Size
XXX1L
XXX2L
XXX3L
YYY1L
YYY3L
YYY5L
ZZZApple
ZZZOrgane
ZZZWatermelon

 

 

 

In the above figure we can see that Brand XXX has 1L, 2L, 3L and Brand YYY has 1L, 3L and 5L. Similary, brand ZZZ has Apple, Orange, Watermelon.  Considering our data, we will have Size/Flavor dimension with attributes 1L, 2L, 3L, 5L, Apple, Orange, Watermelon.  But when I put in a matrix view I want this kind of table.

The table should show all the 1L, 2L, 3L, 5L dimension for Brand XXX and Brand YYY but not for Brand ZZZ. Whereas Brand ZZZ should only  has its flavor and size and not other.Please guide

Hi @Mkrishna

Below is my table:

vxiandatmsft_0-1705652648580.png

The following DAX might work for you:

CustomDimensionTable = 
UNION(
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Brand] = "XXX" || 'Table'[Brand] = "YYY"),
        "Brand", 'Table'[Brand],
        "Dimension", 'Table'[Flavor]
    ),
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Brand] = "ZZZ"),
        "Brand", 'Table'[Brand],
        "Dimension", 'Table'[Flavor]
    )
)

The final output is shown in the following figure:

Hi @Mkrishna 
If I understood you correctly try to use the option "show items with no data".
