Unbalanced Headers in a Matrix
Hello friends,
I need to prepare a table in this format.
My client insists that they need this exact format and I wonder if there is any (maybe custom) visual that will allow me to implement the request without building a bunch of measures. I already have: Actual, Budget, Forecast, Delta - so all the rest should be just playing with Time hierarchy levels.
Please help
Thanks
One approach to solve issues like this is to produce one or more disconnected tables that contain the structure you need. From there you can write a measure that responds to the structure to give you what you need. I don’t have anything I can share that is identical to what you want, but here are 2 things you can look at that may help you understand the concept.

This next video shows how you can use tables to force a P&L structure. https://youtu.be/ojHZkWkEY7Q

Hi michaelshparber ,
Your information is very limited and to give you a better answer can you post some details on the model you already have and the calculations?
