Transform a summarised table

I've created a table by summarising my main table using the formula below.

 

SummarisedTable = SUMMARIZE('Table','Table'[ Column1],'Table'[Colum2],'Table'[Column3],'Table'[Column4],'Table'[Column5])
 
Is it then possible for me to transform this summarised table? In my case, I want to transpose the data such that the column headings become my row values. (https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Transpose-table-titles-from-columns-to-rows/m-p/447653#M207...)
 
I don't want to do anything to the main table as I need it in its original format, hence why I've created the summarised table. I want to be apply filters on the main table such that the values in the summarised table update accordingly.
 
Not sure if this is possible?

Hi @bo_afk ,

 

Rather then creating summarised table using DAX, you can do same in Edit Query:

1. Create a summarised table from main table using GROUP BY in "Edit Query"

2. Transpose this summarised table as required.

 

If this helps and resolves the issue, appreciate a Kudos and mark it as a Solution! 🙂

@Pragati11 thanks for your response. Seems like it could work in my case. Is the new summarised table still linked to the original? If I filter from the original table, do the values change accordingly in the summarised table?

Hi @bo_afk ,

 

Just create relationship between your summarised table ans original table on a key column. Once that is done, it will get filtered properly.
