Hi,
Let's say i run a company with 3 sales teams,. i want to create a matrix table that shows the sales amounts by channel and product.
Something like this
| # | Product A | Product B | Product C | Others | Total |
| Sales Team 1 | $ 500 | $ 750 | $ 950 | $ 1.500 | $ 3.700 |
| Reps | $ 250 | $ 610 | $ 630 | $ 2.100 | $ 3.590 |
| Telephone | $ 300 | $ 256 | $ 456 | $ 5.000 | $ 6.012 |
| Total | $ 1.050 | $ 1.616 | $ 2.036 | $ 8.600 | $ 13.302 |
I have 10 products, but i don't want 10 columns, i want to show the top 3 sellers (PRODUCT A,B AND C) and group the other 7 products in "Others" column.
how can i acomplish that?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards.

Hi @Raul09,
In your scenario, you can right click Product in the Fields panel and select “New Group”, then create Product group and drag the Product group to Columns in Matrix visual, this way, you will get expected result. For more details, please review the following screenshots.

2 questions
Is the structure of the data set already in side by side, or is it a stacked normalized table? perhaps a few rows in example could help
Are you intending that PBI determine the top 3 - or - do you know what they are and manually creating the visual?
I will manually select my top 3 products to show and the others 7 to group too.
Example Data:
| Document No | Order Date | Customer | Rep Code | Quantity | Amount | Product | Channel |
| 1 | 5/3/2017 | X | A1 | 500 | $ 15.000 | A | Sales Team 1 |
| 2 | 5/3/2017 | G | S2 | 400 | $ 32.000 | B | Distributors |
| 3 | 5/3/2017 | B | D3 | 100 | $ 5.600 | X | Telephone |
| 4 | 5/3/2017 | N | D3 | 200 | $ 58.000 | Y | Sales Team 1 |
| # | Product A | Product B | Product C | Others | Total | ||
| Sales Team 1 | $ 15.000 | $ - | $ - | $ 58.000 | $ 73.000 | ||
| Distributos | $ - | $ 32.000 | $ - | $ - | $ 32.000 | ||
| Telephone | $ - | $ - | $ - | $ 5.600 | $ 5.600 | ||
| Total | $ 15.000 | $ 32.000 | $ - | $ 63.600 | $ 110.600 |
