Unable to add a measure in a matrix table

[crt9]

Hello,

I have created a measure named "QuadrantLog" by using the following DAX code:

QuadrantLog =

VAR CurrentPercentage = SELECTEDVALUE('Dataset - New'[Percentage of new triggers])

VAR CurrentTriggers = SELECTEDVALUE('Dataset - New'[Log Triggers])

VAR AveragePercentage = [AvgPercentage]

VAR AverageTriggers = [AvgLogTriggers]

RETURN

SWITCH(

    TRUE(),

    //Q3

    CurrentPercentage < AveragePercentage && CurrentTriggers < AverageTriggers, "Q3",

    //Q2

    CurrentPercentage > AveragePercentage && CurrentTriggers < AverageTriggers, "Q2",

    //Q4

    CurrentPercentage < AveragePercentage && CurrentTriggers > AverageTriggers, "Q4",

    //Q1

    CurrentPercentage > AveragePercentage && CurrentTriggers > AverageTriggers, "Q1",

     "#000000"

)

What I want to do is to add the measure "QuadrantLog" in a matrix, but in the Rows or Columns fields. The only thing I can do is to add it in the Values field, as you can see in the below screenshot. Why am I unable to add it in the Rows or Columns fields?

 Thank you in advance!

Hi @crt9 

The measure can only be set as value in a matrix visual, the field of "Row" and "Column" in matrix visual must be put with the column or calculated column of a table.Measure is a dummy value, and the rows and columns in the matrix must hold the entity columns present in the table.You can translate the measure to the calculated column, then put the column to the row or column of matrix visual.
