Power BI :: Show a Table of Measures on Rows Instead of Columns


GOAL: I'm trying to create a table in Power BI with different measure.

Every measure has a different filter, for example:

Realised Savings Azure App Service v2 = 
CALCULATE(SUM('Usage details'[costInBillingCurrency]), FILTER ( 'Usage details', 'Usage details'[meterCategory] = "Azure App Service" && CONTAINSSTRING('Usage details'[meterName.1], "v2") ))
Realised Savings Azure App Service v3 = 
CALCULATE(SUM('Usage details'[costInBillingCurrency]), FILTER ( 'Usage details', 'Usage details'[meterCategory] = "Azure App Service" && CONTAINSSTRING('Usage details'[meterName.1], "v3") ))
Realised Savings DTU = 
CALCULATE(SUM('Usage details'[costInBillingCurrency]), FILTER ( 'Usage details', 'Usage details'[meterCategory] = "SQL Database" && CONTAINSSTRING('Usage details'[meterName.1], "DTU") ))
Realised Savings vCore = 
CALCULATE(SUM('Usage details'[costInBillingCurrency]), FILTER ( 'Usage details', 'Usage details'[meterCategory] = "SQL Database" && 'Usage details'[meterName.1] = "vCore" ) )

Realised Savings VMs = 
CALCULATE ( SUM ( 'Usage details'[costInBillingCurrency] ), FILTER ( 'Usage details', 'Usage details'[meterCategory] = "Virtual Machines"  ) )

PROBLEM: I have checked the totals and they are alright. I'm happy, I reached my goal!

But when I try to put them into a table, horror: they create columns instead of rows:

enter image description here

I don't want to have them like that.

What I want is this:

MeterCategory Total
Realised Savings Azure App Service v2 4147.091
Realised Savings Azure App Service v3 4889.731
Realised Savings DTU 12915.273
Realised Savings vCore 238.528
Realised Savings VMs 5859.370

So how to pivot this table?

I tried the Matrix but it seems like it's not working.

Should I create a table instead of 5 different measures?


Solution

  • Use a matrix and switch values to rows.
