Visual With Row Headers vs Column Headers

[bvbull200]

I have a dataset with about 3MM rows.  Each row is for a different sku number.  This report will be filtered/sliced such that only one sku is shown at a time.

What I am trying to replicate is basically this view (from an old MS Access tool we used to use).  I get the differences between querying for one part in Access and visualizing a dataset in PBI, but I still think this is doable.

When using the table visual in PBI, it is showing the right info, but the headers are in the columns, not the rows.  If I could simply make the data go horizontally (starting with the field name) instead of vertically, I'd be golden.  Outside of creating a bunch of single value cards with a text box next to them, are there any suggestions for how to display this?  Without pivoting my data, can I get a table visual of sorts to go horizontally insted of vertically?

@bvbull200 yes I will not go that route, putting the label as a different visual, it is always tough to maintain.

There is one way to present the data you want but you need to create a measure for each column which will be simply MAX ( Table[ColumnName] )

and then use these measures in a matrix visual and on the formatting pane, turn on show on rows, and that will do it.

That is one heck of a workaround!  It will require a little work on the front end to get the measures created, but the result seems to be just what I was after.  Thank you for this.  Accepted as the solution!

@bvbull200 try to use multi row card

[bvbull200]

Thank you for the suggestion.  I have tried that visual, but the category labels only display below the value and not to the side.  I can possibly use the multi-row card to display the values, then add text boxes next to each one to label them, but that seems like a less than elegant solution.
