Matrix with data from different tables connected by the "column" field, but not rows

[Anonymous]

Hi,

I'm new to Power Bi and I'm struggling building a matrix including data from different tables.

Table 1

Week	Name	Sex	Spent
week 1	Jack	Male	£10
week 2	George	Male	£10
week 2	Adam	Male	£30
week 3	Jessica	Female	£50

Table 2

Week	Sex	Num of customers
week 1	Male	1
week 2	Male	2
week 3	Female	1

Table 3

Week

week 1

week 2

week 3

Table 1 and 2 are connected through table 3 by "week" and I'm trying to make a matrix with info from both tables displayed per week and broken down by male/female.

I have

-"week" from the table 3 as columns

-"sex" from table 2 as rows

-"spent" from table 1 and "num of customers" from table 2 as values.

The breakdown Male/Female only works for num of customers from Table 2 (I guess because I put "sex" from Table 2 as rows), but it doesn't work for spent from Table 1.

[(If I put "sex" from Table 1 as rows, it works for spent from Table 1, but not for num of customers from Table2)]

This is what I get

Sex	week 1 spent	week 1 num of customers	week 2 spent	week 2 num of customers
Male	£10	1	£40	2
Female	£10	0	£40	0
Total	£10	1	£40	2

so it works on at total level, but does anyone know how to get the right breakdown male/female for both fields?

This is what I want.

Sex	week 1 spent	week 1 num of customers	week 2 spent	week 2 num of customers
Male	£10	1	£40	2
Female	£0	0	£0	0
Total	£10	1	£40	2

Thanks!

Hi,

You may download my PBI file from here.

Hope this helps.

Thanks @Ashish_Mathur 

It works! The only thing is that I actually need the cumulative number of customers per week and I get right totals, but again wrong numbers in breakdown. Any idea why?

Hi,

For that, it is best if we have actual dates instead of just week numbers.  That way we will be able to use the Date and Time Intelligence functions.

@Anonymous make relationship cross filter to both between table 2 and 3, it is not a good practice and can lead to performance issue but the first test with this.

if this work then you can write measures for both the values and use crossfilter function with both option.

I would ❤ Kudos if my solution helped. 👉 If you can spend time posting the question, you can also make efforts to give Kudos whoever helped to solve your problem. It is a token of appreciation!
