HI all,
is it possible to have different dimension for each measure in pivot table where row dimension are same.
expected outcome:
Country | Sum(Sales) | Sum(Sales) | sum(Sales) | |||
A | B | X1 | X2 | m | n | |
India | ||||||
UK | ||||||
Canada |
measure is same will be added multiple times but each has to expand with different dimensions.
OR
Country | Sum(Sales) | Count(Sales) | |
A | B | ||
India | |||
UK |
two different measures, only first one need to expand but not second.
simply put joining 2 or more different pivot tables joining side by side skipping country details(same row ).
Appreciate any thoughts.
You couldn't get a layout like in Excel but you could show the results in a very similar look - but you will need to do some extra measures by creating an appropriate dimensional structure which means to create some main- and/or sub-categories to your dimension and/or to extend your dimension for the additionally parts like any included total/rate columns and/or as-of-table logic for overlapping calculations.
Another way might be to skip these dimensionality and applying for everything an own calculation.
I suggest to avoid such measures because it just creates efforts without much benefits because the essential information of the data could be als displayed with normal objects.

Thank you marcus for your response.
I thought of your 2nd suggestion, creating each measure of its own but there are many values in expansion- as your said just creates efforts without much benefits.
Will try your first option of extending dimension and use as-of-table logic.
I am currently sticking to multiple pivots.
Thanks
