Different metrics in one, on one line

ShellyG — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 16:16:39 GMT

Hi everyone,

I need help with ideas for the following chart:

I need to have a table, where I can visualize a couple of metrics for specific periods on one line. So imagine I have a fiscal year field, which currently contains 2021 and 2022 as these are the years I have data for.

I need to create a table where I will have a metric on one line, which consists of these metrics - sum(Actuals) for 2022, sum(Budget) for 2022 and sum(Actuals) for 2021. The metric should be on a row and the years need to be separate columns. Please see attached screenshot for more details of how it should look.

I guess it should happen with a calculated dimension, but I can't think of a way currently.

All ideas are appreciated!

it is quite more simple then this. Use a pivot table.
Metric name as frist Dimension. under Column put in the Year
and then add the two measures: Sum(Actuals ) and Sum(Budget).

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the idea.

I kind of works, but this is just part of the requirement which I have, as I need to have a different metric for every row, which needs to also be calculated for different year and be only one line. So let's say I will need to have Metric 2 on line two, but for 2022 it needs to be sum(Actuals), for 2022 again sum (Budget) and for 2021 it will be something different again.

Actually, I think I managed to do what I want with an inline table, will share here if I get to the desired result. 🙂
