Dear all,
I have the below data in excel and I would like to create a pivot in PowerBI as shown below. But I am unable to achieve the view I need. (Column Header interchange) The below is just an example :
Sample data:
Animals | Type | Legs | Weight |
Lion | Wild | 4 | 200 |
Tiger | Wild | 4 | 220 |
Dog | Domestic | 4 | 15 |
Cat | Domestic | 4 | 5 |
Currently in PowerBI:
Desired View:
I have come across few posts suggesting unpivotting / calculation groups as a probable solution. But the dataset is of huge capacity and dont think both are feasable. Are there any other ways to achieve the desired view?

Hi @Tiphany01
Thanks for reaching out to us.
You can try this, create the table
Table1 = GENERATE(
VALUES('Table'[Animals]),
{"Legs","Weight"})
then create a measure
Measure =
IF(MAX([Value])="Weight",
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Weight]),FILTER('Table',[Type]=MAX([Type])&&[Animals]=MAX('Table1'[Animals]))),
CALCULATE(SUM('Table'[Legs]),FILTER('Table',[Type]=MAX([Type])&&[Animals]=MAX('Table1'[Animals]))))
result

@Tiphany01 , You need to unpivot the columns for that, Then only you will be able to move leg and weight up
