Hi community, 

I need to create a two pagers ppt report on Power BI builder

mcantos_1-1725627352684.png

Each cell results from the data retrieved with the specific stage (column) and status (row). 

I tried using matrix and table but it didn't work. So now I am thinking about creating small tables that retrieve data from different datasets (with the status and stage filter applied), meaning I have to make 9 tables/datasets for slide 1 and 6 tables/datasets for slide 2.

 

Does anyone have a different idea? 

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi @mcantos - I have some key ideas, please check once.

Create a measure for each cell you need to populate (based on Stage and Status), which will avoid the need to create 9 or 6 separate datasets.

A matrix should work for cross-tabulation of Status and Stage. It dynamically expands and simplifies the table structure.

Focus on formatting and grid alignment to make the matrix look as close to a report as possible.

This approach should give you more flexibility than manually creating separate datasets for each table while keeping the report structure more maintainable.

 

Hope the above informaiton helps.

Hi @rajendraongole1 ,

Sorry for the delay. The idea about using measures worked 🙂 so, thank you so much. 

I have a quick question

Is there a way to remove the blank cells? I want each cell to start from the top. Is it possible?

Thank you!

Hi @mcantos -Yes,You can filter out blank rows or columns using Power BI’s filter functionality,Select your visual, and in the Visualizations pane, locate the field in either the Rows or Columns well.Click the dropdown arrow next to the field and apply a filter:Exclude Blanks by unchecking the "(Blank)" option.

 

another way is you can create measure with if statement. 

 

Hope this information helps.

HI @rajendraongole1 ,

 

Thank you for your ideas. I guess it is possible to create measures that concatenate more than one field, so I'll try.

On the other hand, I think the problem would be the little squares on the right side of the cell as they are also different fields with a specific format.

Since the report contains two slides should I create them as a separate report? I don't see any way to create them together.

 

Thank you! I'll get back with my results!
