hi
i have the columns along with calculated measures in the matrix visual . currently everything is static and matrix visual as a scroll and it is becoming hard for the users to come up with the analysis on columns list . On adhoc basis they want to remove and add the columns in matrix visual similar power pivot functionality . Is this possible to acheive along with calculated as measure of this

Hi @Anonymous ,
To what I can understand you want to have an option for users to select columns that they see on the matrix table that is not an option you have on PBI by default however you can create a workaround.
Create an unrelated table with all your Columns Names that you want to have as on off on your matrix.
In my case I created a table named Selector:
Columns selection
Quantity |
Value |
Then add the following measures:
Column selection = MAX(Selector[Columns selection]) Totals Columns = SWITCH([Column selection];"Quantity";[Quantity total];"Value";[Value total])
On the second measure you should add all the related measure that you have for each column you want to show.
Now create your matrix in the following way:
Rows: Category (this are the columns that you want to have the details (keep the ones you have)
Columns: Selector[Columns Selection]
Values: [Totals Columns]
Should give the result below:

Are you abble to share a sample file?
You need to use a onedrive, google drive, we transfer or similar link.

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsHi @Anonymous ,
The question here is the way you have made the Totals column measure syntax.
You have:
Totals Columns = SWITCH([Column selection];"Volume";[A_CM_Vol];"C3";[A_CM_C3])
But your column selection table does not have any value that specifically is Volume. What the funcion switch is doing is:
Totals Columns = IF([Column selection] = "Volume";[A_CM_Vol];IF([Column selection] = "C3";[A_CM_C3]))
Instead of making the nested IFs you used the switch.
You need to redo your measure to:
Totals Columns = SWITCH([Column selection];"A_CM_Vol";[A_CM_Vol];"A_CM_C3";[A_CM_C3])
Then you will get the correct values:

Check out my blog: Power BI em PortuguêsWoah, i did not know that. Thanks a lot! Just one more query, Can i group all those into say some specific fields?
As you can see in the attached image I have around 12 measures for Actual values, I have another 12 for Plan & Previous Year (Total 35).
For Eg: Right now I have a matrix view with 40 columns. Say i just want to see C3, C4 & Volume, instead of selecting, A_CM_C3, P_CM_C3 and other 4 measures, is there a way i can just have one field called C3, C4, Volume and it selects/deselects the respective fields automatically?
Hi @Anonymous ,
Yes you can do it adding an additional level with the Grouping to your measure table and then making adjustment on the formula like this:
Totals Columns Grouping =
SWITCH (
TRUE ();
SELECTEDVALUE ( Selector[Grouping] ) = "Volume"
&& [Column selection] = "A_CM_Vol"; [A_CM_Vol];
SELECTEDVALUE ( Selector[Grouping] ) = "Volume"
&& [Column selection] = "P_CM_Vol"; [P_CM_Vol];
...
)
But having 30/40 columns on your calculation maybe it0's better to unpivot the values by tree columns with volume, C3, c4 and the details below then you would not need to have any switch measure.
So you just need to add the second column to your slicer and the first column to your table.
