Need to show metrics by day (in columns) in Matrix

Hi All,

My transactional data looks like this. It's thousands of rows for each day with multiple variables. 

 

IDVariableVariable2Date
xxxxxxJan 1
xxxxxJan 2

right now I can only have it with the date running down vertically and the variable summaries running down vertically as well.

 

 

I need to summarize data like below.

 Jan1Jan2Jan3 
variable1sum/count/measure   
variable2Sum/count/measure   

 

Any idea/help would be appreciated

Not the exact.

In matrix display you have option show on rows - This will move the measure to rows.

 

Also, you can try to have a table like this and use it for further display.

union(
summarize(table,table[date],"Var","Variable 1", "Sum",sum(table[variable 1]), "Count",count(table[variable 1])),
summarize(table,table[date],"Var","Variable 2", "Sum",sum(table[variable 2]), "Count",count(table[variable 2]))
)

Hi @NOVICE02 ,

 

You could unpivot variable columns ( or select other columns and then choose unpivot other columns ).

Then use matrix to show your data.

I tried unpivot but it's not supported in direct query and i have to keep this the same because there are too many columns to do an import without a lag

 

I wrote this to unpivot:

select
  cal_date,
  Calls_Handled
from
 OB_Portfolio4 unpivot (
    Volumes for Metrics IN (Calls_Handled AS 'Calls_Handled ')
  );

but keep getting this error:   Details: "Microsoft SQL: Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'AS'."

 

Any help would be appreciated
