Unpivoting Measures

Hi!

 

I've encountered a scenario in which I think I need to unpivot measures and am not sure if that is possible. 

 

In its current form, the data is displayed in a matrix like this, with each of the columns being a seperate measure:

 Measure 1Measure 2Measure 3
Location A   
Location B   

 

The users have requested a second matrix that would ideally look like this, with each measure as its own "row." 

 Location ALocation B
Measure 1  
Measure 2  
Measure 3  

 

Is this possible? I don't think the values would be correct if I try to replicate those measures as columns.... any advice would be appreciated!

There is a setting under Format called "show on rows" or something like that. Try under the values section.

I will not give you bad advice, even if you unknowingly ask for it.
