Hi!
I was assigned to make a simple table in PBI showing the values provided by the department. Here is a sample layout of the raw data.
| KEI/KPI | Type | Segment | Jan-21 | Feb-21 | Mar-21 | Apr-21 | May-21 | Jun-21 | Jul-21 | Aug-21 | Sep-21 | Oct-21 | Nov-21 | Dec-21 |
| KPI1 | Bulk | Builders | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% | ||||||||

As you can see, the numbers are mostly presented in % except for the KPI3 in which it should be presented in absolute numbers.
In my inital process, I used 'unpivoted' and so all values are now in one column and I added a column to have a date column.
Here is my output. My question is that is there a way for these values (highlighted in yellow) to show as absolute while the rest are in percentages?

There are many ways to achieve this, but I suggest two ways like below.
All measures are in the sample pbix file.
