Hello,
please, I need your useful ideas in how to preview a report which its value column have multiple formats. I ask that's the best data modeling to be able getting visual reports.
in recap: I ask if can I use the [Metric Name] column in X-Axis then filter by [Week] or [Skill], or another preview that could show me the value by [Metric] or the value by [Skill]. or get a complete insight which could measure the [metric] by [Skill] and vs
thanks a lot,
Hi @AAbdelkader,
From my point of view, I don't think it is a good practice to put different formats data into a single column. So I would suggest you unify the formats for the column to Decimal Number type in this scenario. The percentage(80%) and integer(66) type data is easy to be changed to decimal number type. For the Time(0:11:00) type data, you can convert it to seconds or minutes first, then change it to decimal number.![]()
The formula below to create new calculate column to unify the formats is for your reference.
Unified Column =
IF (
Data[Metric Name] = "AHT",
MINUTE ( Data[Sup Total] )
+ SECOND ( Data[Sup Total] ) / 60,
VALUE ( Data[Sup Total] )
)
Regards
