I have a table that has a few columns : Date, Sales $, Profit $, a few other non-numeric columns. I was wondering if i could create a a table that had time parameters as the column headers (Current Day, Yesterday, MTD, QTD, etc.)? I have already created separate measures but want to consolidate. It was look similar to what is below.
Current Day Yesterday MTD
Orders 5 2 10
Sales $ $30 $12 $60
Profit $10 $4 $20
Thank you in advance

Hi @thampton
If you could accept to transform the table structure or create a new table with a different structure from the original one, you could follow my steps below.
1. in Edit Queries,create a new blank query to copy your table
"New source"->Blank query, open "Advanced editor", enter
let
Source = Sheet6
in
Source
2.in "Query1" created above, split columns "sales", "profit" step by step
3.Then remove "sales.1" and "profit.1" columns
rename "sales.2" and "profit.2" columns as "sales", "profit"
select "sales", "orders" and "profit", unpivot these columns,
4. in the new created column "Value", check if its type is of number, if not, transform to number type.
or check each column to change to the proper type.
apply&close
5.create measures
current day = CALCULATE(SUM(Query1[Value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Query1,Query1[Attribute]),Query1[date]=TODAY())) yesterday = CALCULATE(SUM(Query1[Value]),FILTER(ALLEXCEPT(Query1,Query1[Attribute]),Query1[date]=TODAY()-1)) MTD = TOTALMTD(SUM(Query1[Value]),Query1[date])
