Transpose a visual

I have a visual in Power BI Desktop that looks like this: 

 

Visual 1: 

ClientNamePlanIDAddressPhone
ABC123123 Broad St123456789
DEF456456 Main St287565462
XYZ781100 Link Road865476524

 

I want the visual to look like this: 

 

Visual 2: 

ClientNameABC
PlanID123
Address123 Broad St
Phone123456789

 

The underlying data comes from a table in Snowflake which is structured like Visual 1 shown above. When the user clicks on the Client Name, the Visual 2 shown above should get displayed (like a drill down feature). 

 

I dont know how to transpose to show that Visual 2 above. 

 

Please help! 

 

I am using Power BI Desktop 2.108.997.0 64-bit (August 2022)

 

Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous ,

1. The first method puts these fields into the Value Stored Value bucket of the matrix and turns switch values to rows option on in the Format pane.

2. The second way is to build this table in the PowerQuery Editor. (Manual input is fine)

then ceate a new measure:

Measure = 
IF( 
    ISFILTERED('Table'[ClientName]),
    SWITCH(
        MAX('Table (2)'[ColumnName]),
        "ClientName",
        CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[ClientName]),'Table'[ClientName] = MAX('Table'[ClientName])),
        "PlanID",
        CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[PlanID]),'Table'[ClientName] = MAX('Table'[ClientName])),
        "Address",
        CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Address]),'Table'[ClientName] = MAX('Table'[ClientName])),
        "Phone",
        CALCULATE(MAX('Table'[Phone]),'Table'[ClientName] = MAX('Table'[ClientName]))
    ),
    "Please select a client"
)

 

Please refer to the pbix file.
