Hello,
I am attemting to flip the axis of my created table in a very specific way and am wondering if it is possible in PBI and how to do so. I have a field called 'Measurement' with the values 0.25 mi, 0.5 mi, and 1 mi which I want as columns, and then a number of demographic variables with specific values for each measurement which I want as rows.
This is the format of my desired result:
When I add 'Measurement' as a column in a matrix and the demographics into 'values' this is what I get: (demographics into 'rows' outputs a different also wrong result)
And when I use a basic table with everything in 'columns' this is the result:
Hoping it is an easy fix, any help would be much appreciated!

Hi, @JeremyGreen
May I ask if this is the expected output you are looking for? Based on your description, I have created many measures to achieve the effect you are looking for. Following picture shows the effect of the display.
Once you have created such a matrix, you can turn on “Switch values to column” in Values under Visualizations pane.
Measures:
Population with Univ.Degree =
VAR _sumPopulation =
SUM ( Population[Population] )
VAR _sumUnvi =
SUM ( Population[Univ.] )
VAR _degree =
CALCULATE ( DIVIDE ( _sumUnvi, _sumPopulation, 2 ) )
RETURN
_degree
Total Population(2023) =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Population[Population] ), Population[Year] = 2023 )
Total Population(2028) =
CALCULATE ( SUM ( Population[Population] ), Population[Year] = 2028 )
If this does not work, could you please share some sample data without sensitive information and expected output.
