Hi
My report has SQL detail table with 20 columns, 2 measures (actuals, forecast) for detail Power BI reporting . I have another scenario where to build aggregate custom table which includes only selected columns(5), measures(2) any approach in Power BI we could accomplish without re-writing sql . so i can write few conditional calcuations on aggregate table.
SQL syntax
Select A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, sum(actuals) as Actuals, Sum(forecat) as forecast where A1 = "Y" and A3 ="N" Group by A1, A2, A3, A4, A5.
Thanks
