I am trying to create a power bi replicating the tableau report. In tableau, it automatically group the values when we place the columns in rows pane. But in Power BI, I am not able to group the exact same way of tableau report. Please help me how to group the values in report pane of power bi.
I have tried table and matrix visualization but I am not getting the same view like tableau
Need to create the same visuals like tableau report. Attached images
As mentioned in this post, there is no exact visual copy of the Tableau visual you show for PowerBI. Instead, it offers the matrix visual where indentation is used to show groups. This, for instance, allows for a nice presentation of subtotals in your visual, something Tableau does differently. If you are really keen on getting the visual appeal closer alike, try changing the indentation under Formatting Options > Row Headers > Stepped layout indentation. That's the closest you are going to get given the current constraints of Power BI.

I'm new to PowerBI.
I wanted to create a scorecard that looks like the one in data studio where it displays the total value and percentage change from the previous period.
Below is the screenshot from Google Studio
You can add % from the data view in powerbi desktop,
PowerBI has some learning curve compare to Google Studio. I would recommend you to explore more and get yourself comfortable and try to find answers yourself.
But you should be able to achieve the output you're expecting using measures. Measures are similar to excel formula that allow you to calculate from existing values.

I am trying to indent the rows in matrix report in Power BI, Like shown in this image:
The requirement is not to group, just the indentation for few metrics. Is it possible in Power BI?
Use stepped layout https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/visuals/desktop-matrix-visual#stepped-layout-with-matrix-visuals
It is one of the many settings for the matrix visual and well documented in the Microsoft docs.
There is currently no simple way of indenting a few out of many items in one dimension.
The only option I see is to calculate a weird table on the form:
And then write a fairly complex measure leveraging ISINSCOPE to determine what value to pull for e.g. sales for Banana (but not the sum of Mango, Papaya et al.)
I have a single table in Power BI. There are no other tables being used, everything is in 1 table.
When I drill down, I don't get any results to come back despite having numbers in my Matrix Visual.
Any idea why this might be?
Select one of the visuals where the drill through is working.
On the list of filters off to the right, put whatever column(s) your visual is using as a filter.
This should solve everything.
I am new to Power BI and with the limited time given, I am stuck at how to come up with:
Below Table B-Row1 ("1/20" and "M"-Monday cell) - how to
specifically place the date measures in their specific cell and put
it in one column?
How can I merge the cells under the Total column?
How to add all the numbers from the Type1 and Type2 columns and place it in the merged cell in #2?
Any clues/direction/links on how to achieve the Target Table B below will be much appreciated.
PS. Below Table A. Current is just using Matrix Visualization in Power BI.
You can't exactly do what you are after. PowerBI allows you to rapidly put amazing visuals together however that comes at the price of lack of (easy) flexibility. You could build your own custom visual or look in App Source for a visual that does this, or build the Visual in some other tool (via custom code).
However, I'd recommend sticking with the PowerBI matrix, which will give you a cascading drill down and work out how best to align your data to it and other out of the box visuals. Once you start to delve in to convoluted work-arounds to give users data in exactly the format they request you start to burn a lot of time. Look for alternatives to tell the data's story and work with your end-user to buy in to it.
Just wanna share that I have resolved my problem not using one type of visualization, but through using 3 different visualizations in Power BI. I used:
1 Table visual for Date column
1 Table visual for Total column
1 Matrix visual for the Code+Type mapping and counts
I also used DAX function to get the Date format and another DAX function used for both Total and Code+Type counts(to filter data according to the specified date).
Thanks for the response, #Murray and #RADO.
Test driving MS Power BI Designer. In the Tabular visualization I can't find way to maintain data source order. I have a specific order I want a text field to be in. It is sorted that way in query but report only allows asc/desc order. Don't want to put 01,02,03 in text field. Also don't want to include "order" field in the visualization. (That would work if I could "hide" field though). Any ideas?
This is a capability that is on the roadmap. If you use Excel, you can see the 'sort by' option in Power Pivot. The same capability will come to Power BI Designer, but it's not there yet.
Appreciate your using Power BI,

There's a way to do this in Power BI Desktop. Check this video at about 10:50.

You'll need to create another column of number values to tell it what order to sort the text values in. You can do that with "Enter Data" if it doesn't already exist.
