Stacking Measures in Matrix table like the structure in Excel

Hi Guys,

 

We used to build matrix report in below structure in Excel or other reporting platform. However, when it comes to using Measures in Power BI, I have not found a way to stack them in such structure yet.

Below is a workaround structure in Power BI. But, as many Power BI folks are asking the same question. I wanted to throw this question out there to see if anyone else has a solution. How can we stack measures in Power BI as presented above?

Hi Chrissie

 

Please consider this solution.
I am an unpaid Power BI volunteer so please click the thumbs up if you like me trying to help you and the solved button if I fix your problem. 

 

Create the followind 2 dynamic measures. 

Then create a matrix with rows = Zone and Type,
leave Columns = blank 

and Values = Score 1 and Score 2

Score 1 =
VAR mytype = SELECTEDVALUE(Facts[Type])
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
mytype = "Type 1", [Measure1],
mytype = "Type 2", [Measure2],
BLANK()
)
 
Score 2 =
VAR mytype = SELECTEDVALUE(Facts[Type])
RETURN
SWITCH(TRUE(),
mytype = "Type 1", [Measure3],
mytype = "Type 2", [Measure4],
BLANK()
)

It looks like a possible solution. I will test to see if it works once I get a chance. Thank you very much!
