I'm trying to get a matrix table into the format below where my rows are my metrics and I have two column hierarchies: Time and Current/Prior. For each metric I want to have the raw values for "Current" and then a %increase/decrease in the "Prior" column.
This data is coming via DirectQuery from SQL and it looks like this:
I'm doing the % calculation in the SQL query, but if it's easier to create a measure to do that work then I can pull in the raw values.
Ideally what I need is the ability to have the Current values be formatted as currency and the prior values formatted as a percent. Unfortunately I can't use the FORMAT() function with direct query so that's off the table. Is there any other way to achieve this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
What I wound up doing was reformatting the SQL code to look like this:
That way Current/Prior are have two separate values and the "metric" is categorical. I got the idea from this post: Simple way to transpose columns and rows in SQL?

@Anonymous,
You might try using a calculation group. Each calculation item within a calculation group has a format property.
