Display One or more calculated columns under single column/heading in matrix layout

[Anonymous]

Hi Community,

I want to display One or more calculated columns under single column/heading in a matrix layout. I can do it easily for non calculated columns by unpivoting in 'Transform data' section, but calculated columns dont appear in transform data section.

Current display:

Expected display:

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Anonymous ,

Try this solution.

1. Export data (Don't aggregate data)

2. Unpivot the WaitTime1~5 columns in Edit Query.

3. Create a calculated column with DAX.

Column = 
SWITCH(
    [Attribute],
    "WaitTime1", "Stage1",
    "WaitTime2", "Stage1",
    "WaitTime3", "Stage2",
    "WaitTime4", "Stage2",
    "WaitTime5", "Stage3"
)

4. Create a matrix visual.

@Anonymous - If I understand this correctly, you could do this with a custom matrix hierarchy: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Quick-Measures-Gallery/The-New-Hotness-Custom-Matrix-Hierarchy/m-p/963588#M428

@Anonymous , first Unpivot and then create stage on as new calculated column

https://radacad.com/pivot-and-unpivot-with-power-bi
Transpose : https://yodalearning.com/tutorials/power-query-helps-transposing-data/

New Column = Switch(True() ,

[waittime] in {"waittime1","waittime2"} , "Stage1",

[waittime] in {"waittime3","waittime4"} , "Stage2",

"Stage3"

)

Display in matrix with two columns waittime and stage

Hi @Anonymous ,

Do you mind sharing your .pbix file?

Or show the sample data of the fact table and the formulas of the calculated columns. The information is necessary for us.
