合并或合并 power bi 中的两列

Question

I am not sure if my title is correct one, but here is the deal:

I want to make a matrix visualization in Power Bi Desktop. I have fields: ARTICLE_ID and ARTICLE_NAME. I would like to have both those fields in COLUMNS position in matrix data view. And I need them to be in one row, no need to drill down... because it is one and the same thing... I need to have ARTICLE_ID and ARTICLE_NAME as two separate columns on the same level. without drilling. And also, I dont want to use concatenation or merging into some third column. is that possible? thanks

Answer 1

1) I started with this sample data.

2) I created a matrix and configured it as shown in the image below.

3) I clicked the forked arrows to show all levels.

4) In the Rows section of the formatting pane, I turned off "Stepped layout".

5) In the Subtotals section, I turned off "Row subtotals".

I don't know if this is exactly what you are looking for, but I think it is the closest I can come up with since you don't want to concatenate the columns together.

Answer 2

If they are from the same table then just drag and drop them into the columns.

The way a matrix works from my understanding in PowerBI is;

Rows are just the headings/categories of the values. You might need to also go into the format tab, values, and make sure show on rows is on.

For example, let's say our value headings are rainy days and sunny days. Your columns are months. The rows will be the 2 categories. The values will be the values.

Answer 3

As concatenation and "&" does not work in Power BI directquery you can use the below one:

[New_column_name] = if((table_name[column_name]="A" && table_name[column_name]="B"),"AB","NA")
