Pivot date problem

Hi everyone! I'm pretty sure that my problem could be solved through pivot or unpivot feature, but I encountered a problem that I wasn't able to fix.

 

My dataset looks like:

 

installs

signups

players

sesions

30/5/2020

10

20

30

40

29/5/2020

20

33

44

22

28/5/2020

20

11

33

5

27/5/2020

15

10

22

6

26/5/2020

16

6

8

7

 

I need to show it transposed, like:

 

30/5/2020

29/5/2020

28/5/2020

27/5/2020

installs

10

20

20

15

signups

20

33

players

sesions

Using pivot feature, seems to be ok:

But the problem, as the date columns now (due to pivot action) are metrics, I need to select one by one to include it in the table. But as my query datasource every day will return new days ( it recover last 4 days metrcs ) , the "new date" included every day, appears not checked ( as you can see 30/05/2020), so doesn't appear in the table.

 

 

 

Is there any solution to do it ? I mean, I need to show always the days returned into my datasource, with no manually intervention.

 

My .pbix attached, with the original table ( a sample ) and the pivoted table as other

Thanks in advance,

Regards!

Hi @gustavo80 ,

 

You must use the Unpivot column in the query editor.

 

  • Add an index column
  • Select the columns Installs, signups, players and session.
  • Unpivot
  • Get 4 Columns
    • Date
    • Index
    • Attribute
    • Value
  • Add a custom column:
if[Attribute] = "installs" then 1 else
if[Attribute] = "signups" then 2 else
if[Attribute] = "players" then 3 else
4
  • Sort the Date by the last index column and the attribute by the previous column you have created
  • Make you matrix with the following setup:
    • Rows: attribute
    • Columns: Date
    • Values: Values

 

Check PBIX file attach.
