Create table visualization using two different columns from the semantic model data

[buck1327]

Hello,

I am using Power BI Service to build a table visualization A based on existing semantic model, whcih has columns of "Orig_City", "Dest_City", "Sales", "Date"

Is it possible to build the table visualization A with City(including Orig_City and Des_City), Total_Sales, i.e append Orig_city, Total_sales on top of Dest_city, Total_sales, based on some filters?

Question #2, if City Total_Sales table visualization A is successfully built, is it possible to reference City, Total_Sales data in table visualization B which on the same page? so table visualization B will have City,  New_sales, Total_Sales( referencing from table visualization A)?

Thank you for your help

Thank you for help. The same city (e.g. Boston) can only be in either orig_city and Dest_city.  other than that, your mockwup data is very good

Hey @buck1327 ,

In Power BI Service, you can go to the EDIT option and then go to Data Model.  And then, right click on the Model and select Calculated Table.  Then, you can put in the appropriate DAX to do what you want.

You can tweak this as you need, but this is a good first pass for you DAX:
Combined_City_Sales =
UNION (
SELECTCOLUMNS (
YourTableName,
"City", YourTableName[Orig_City],
"Total_Sales", YourTableName[Sales]
),
SELECTCOLUMNS (
YourTableName,
"City", YourTableName[Dest_City],
"Total_Sales", YourTableName[Sales]
)
)

As for Question 2, I think that you will be able to link or otherwise refer to the fields that you want.

I appreciate your help, but I am not sure where is the EDIT option on Service, any screenshot if possible

Hi @buck1327,

Thank you for following up with the conversation. In Power BI Service, there is no direct "Edit" option for Data Model changes like it is in Power BI Desktop. Your confusion likely comes from the fact that calculated tables can only be created in Power BI Desktop and then published to the Power BI Service. Power BI Service you can edit visuals and filters, but not modify the data model like creating calculated tables directly. You must edit the data model in Power BI Desktop, create the calculated table, and then publish the report to Power BI Service.

Hello,

To clarify the first part, is this what you're looking for? (Mockup in Excel)
