HI ,i need your help .
I would like to recreate in power bi a matrix that is strucutured in a particular way.
i have found very difficult to create this with the actual matrix visual with pbi.
i have tried to use calculation group but i am stuck beacuse i can't customize columns headers.
Create many measure it is not an option for me.
Adding images for the headers it's an orrible option.
Could someone kindly guide me or share some file showing how it is possible ?
thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.
@CCCP , I doubt you can this format fully, but you can achieve most of it using calculation groups. I have setup some examples here. Now you do not need external tools for those, you have option in Model view
Calculation Groups- Measure Slicer, Measure Header Grouping, Measure to Dimension Conversion. Complex Table display : https://youtu.be/qMNv67P8Go0

Thank you, I will have a look.
in the meantime i have continued to use the calculation groups by adding another one to my tests.
yes pbi is not for a perfect pixel report, or at least not yet, but I would like to achieve as few repetitive measurements as possible and exploit the matrix by having a stable and versatile solution.
