Showing issue in matrix problem

Hi!I I have a few months using PowerBI, but now I am facing an issue that at least in my mind should be very easy to solve but I cant find a solution that fill all  my needs.

 

My dataset looks like:

 

datecountrygame_verplatformdau_total_usersmau_total_usersstickinesssessionsinstallstotal_events
8/9/20US2.0.1android241010.2376134392411
8/9/20ES2.0.1android1170.05881 12
7/31/20DE2.0.1android6270.222224 437
7/30/20MX2.0.1android191240.153294 1235

 

I just need to show it, but with DATES in columns (there are only last 15 days dates), and indicator in rows. Should look like:

 8/9/208/10/208/11/208/12/208/13/208/14/20
dau_total_users      
mau_total_users      
sessions      
total_events      

 

I tried drag and drop my values to a table/matrix graphs but it didnt work. Is is possible ? It should not be so complicated.

 

The only way that I found was using UnPivot Other Columns options, that indeed work ( page 2 of my pbix attached). But I want to avoid this data manipulation, because I also need to add some new calculations as indicatos ( for examploe, sessiones/users) and once I unpivot the dataset, the files converts in attribute/values combinations and I am not able to perform this calculations.

 

I am stacked.

 

I attached my .pbix as example if it helps

@gustavo80 put dates on the columns and measures on the values, on format pane, select "Show on rows" and that will get you what you are looking for.

Excellent, thanks for the immediate answer, it works!

 

I cant believe that I spent an entire day trying to fix it and there was an easy solution hidden there.

 

Thanks again, regards!
