Not aggregating values in a Matrix

Consider I need to show product family, product, transaction amount, commission paid and commission rate in a matrix. For example:

Product FamilyProductTransaction AmountCommission RateCommissions $
Roofing materialsxxx$ 1,000,0000.01%$ 100
Roofing materialsyyy$ 1,500,0000.02%$ 200
 Total$ 3,500,000 $ 300
Kitchen ItemsSink$ 2,500,0000.05%$1,250
 Cooking appliances$ 2,500,0000.025%

$ 625

 Total$ 5,000,000 $1,875
Total $ 8,500,000 $2,175

 

The commission rate for each product is fixed, it is a static value, no calculation involved. The transaction amount is sum of individual transaction amounts. Commission is the product of sum of the individual transaction amounts and the commission rate.

 

I need to do this in a matrix. I got this mostly working. But when I add the commission rate as a value to a matrix, it starts summarizing the commission rate. It does not give me an option to not summarize the commission rate. Any idea why and how to solve this? I really appreciate any help here.

Hi @senthilvaithi 

We are grateful for your participation in the Microsoft Fabric Community forum.


1. Create a calculated column for Commission Rate in your product table, assuming it is a fixed value per product.

2. In the matrix visual, add Product Family and Product to the Rows. Then, add Transaction Amount and Commissions $ (as measures) to the Values, and add the Commission Rate column to the Values as well.

3. To prevent the Commission Rate from being summarized, click the dropdown arrow next to the Commission Rate in the Values section of the matrix, and select "Don't summarize". If this option is greyed out or unavailable, it means you're using a measure, not a column — and measures are always aggregated.
