Matrix- Adding calculated column

Hi,

I have created a matrix visual to show the area and sub-area wise sales distribution as shown below. This matrix has several filters (country, market group, market) and I am showing the values as % of the column total. I would like to add two other columns to the existing matrix below.

Column 1 -To show the difference between Forecast vs 2021

Column 2-To show the difference between the forecast and the average of 2020 and 2021.

 

                        201920202021Forecast
Area110%13%12%11%
SubArea13%6%6%6%
SubArea25%4%3%3%
SubArea32%2%2%2%
SubArea40%1%1%0%
Area290%87%88%89%
SubArea547%43%44%51%
SubArea624%22%23%21%
SubArea715%11%13%12%
SubArea84%11%8%5%
Total100%100%100%100%

 

 

This is the data table.. there is only one.

 

Market    SubMarket   Area         SubArea     Year        Forecast/Historcial   Units
M1AArea1SubArea12019Historical50
M2BArea1SubArea22019Historical43
M3CArea1SubArea32019Historical67
M4DArea1SubArea42020Historical74
M1EArea2SubArea52020Historical31
M2FArea2SubArea12020Historical45
M3GArea2SubArea22021Historical32
M4HArea2SubArea32021Forecast36
M1IArea2SubArea42021Forecast43

 

Could someone please help me how to do this?

Thanks

Hi @NDD ,

I think you built your matrix like me as below. You may add [Area] and [SubArea] in Rows, add [Year] in Columns and then add a Percentage measure in Values.

Now you want to add another two "columns" in your matrix format. If you create two measures, one to calculate by logic of column1 and another calculate by logic of column2, then add two measures in value field in matrix, you will get an expanded result by [Year]. It looks like as below.

Here I suggest you to remove [Year] in Columns from Matrix. Then create measures to calculate 2019,2020,2021... separately. Then add measures into Values, you will get the result you want.
