Setting up a mapping table for a nested income statement

Hi,

It's been some time since I have used dax/power query to do this so I am hoping it has gotten easier.

I have an income statement layout where I want the layout in Power BI to look like this.  What is the best way to map each GL so that I can have the subtotals and totals calculate correctly?   I will probably need to add IS line iems later so I am hoping to come up with something fairly dynamic. Thanks

Hi @Anonymous ,

 

It's hard to see the correlation between them from the sample data you provided. Can you tell me the calculation logic for these two columns in the expected output?

Thanks. I am trying to create something that looks like this using the data below in bold. I need this to work in Power BI or in Excel as the client really wants to use an Excel UI.  I just need help with how to create the mapping such that I can do subtotals, insert blank rows, etc. etc.   Thanks

PS. I cannot upload a file.
