Hi, I'd like to build from the Sales table a matrix table that shows if a customer bought from more then one category. Can I do it in visuals, or build a new table, and how. Thanks, Giora https:/...

    Hi gtamir,

    I have mentioned  above,  you didn't use Category field from new table. You could refer to my design on your sample

Hi gtamir,

Because some records not exist in table, if you want to show it in Matrix, you need to create a table and use this in Matrix. You need to create table like below

Table = VALUES(Sales[Product Category])

Then create relationship like below

Create a measure like below

Measure = IF(MIN(Sales[ID]),"true", "false")

Then you will get the result like below

    dax thanks. why only the TRUE shows in my case?

    Also, the ID is the Customer ID not product Category ID.

      Hi  gtamir, 

      Did you try my suggestions? Because the blank cell in Matrix don't exist in your table, you can't calculate based on these cells. You need to create a related table to link to original table, then when you use it in Matrix, you could calculate on it.

      In your image, you didn't use Category field from new table. You could try to follow my suggestions to use it, then it should work.
