Summarized by Month Bar Chart

Hi,

 

I'm a newbie in using power bi. Seeking some support to resolve my issues on my table.

I have a table that has the achieved and target values per month on the column header.

How could I summarize it by month by selecting or using a slicer and able to get the running results by month.

 

PO NoPO ValueJan AchJan TarFeb AchFeb TarMar AchMar Tar
AAA-1100   20 20
AAA-250010020050300  
BBB-11000  200300500400

 

 

Thanks in advance.

    You do this by unpivoting the source data.  Ideally you would also provide something better than "Jan"  - for example "202201" 

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcnR01DVU0lEyNDAAkgpI2MgAwYjVgag0AnJNwSoh6o3ApCmIMEYyAKTcyckJZrABiqkIxRCTTIBkbCwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"PO No" = _t, #"PO Value" = _t, #"Jan Ach" = _t, #"Jan Tar" = _t, #"Feb Ach" = _t, #"Feb Tar" = _t, #"Mar Ach" = _t, #"Mar Tar" = _t]),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"PO No", "PO Value"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"

     

    And while you're at it you would probably also want to normalize your data to keep the PO details separate from the target/achieved facts, and then you will want to add a Calendar table to your data model.

     

    You can achieve the cumulative value by using Quick Measures.
