Setup Ideas

I have created a matrix that identifies COGS at a moment in time (cost as of today).  What I now need to do is change the cost of the goods based on when the product was sold.  How would you recommend I setup the information?  Information will change every month.

 

Below is a short table in Excel.  In my previous project, I have cost per unit based on today's cost, but now need to have the formula or setup reflect the month/year it was sold.  I know how to create a new measure (when there was one column of costs), but how do I tell PowerBI to pick the column tied with Month/Year and row tied with part number?

 

Thank you.

Hi @Anonymous,

 

If you want to get the visual like the picture right side, you may shape your data model in Query editor then create a matrix.

 

1. You need to create a custom colum YearMonth.

2. Then pivot the column YearMonth with the value.

 

 

If you need further help, could you share some data sample and your desired output so that I can help you.

 

Best Regards,

Cherry
