Guys,
I have a dataset like this:
| Customer ID | onsite/offshore | Region | 01-01-2011 | 01-02-2011 | 01-03-2011 | 01-04-2011 |
| Customer1 | onsite | Kuwait | 200000 | 200000 | 200000 | 300000 |
| Customer2 | offshore | UK | 200000 | 200000 | 200000 | 300000 |
| Customer3 | onsite | USA | 210000 | 210000 | 210000 | 210000 |
| Customer4 | offshore | USA | 220000 | 220000 | 220000 | 220000 |
| Customer5 | offshore | USA | 210000 | 210000 | 210000 | 230000 |
| Customer6 | offshore | Denmark | 220000 | 220000 | 220000 | 240000 |
| Customer7 | onsite | Australia | 230000 | 230000 | 230000 | 250000 |
I want to create a chart for the data, with time filter (viz., the column name).
Problems I face are:
1. When I load this data into Power BI, it will not load date as a column name!! Instead it gives default column names (Column4, Column5, Column6, etc). How to load date as column name??
2. Assuming I can upload data with dates as column names, I make a duplicate of the table. If I use unpivot data by selecting the date columns alone (i.e., column 4 to 7) from the duplicate. I will get Attribute column which contains unique value of dates:
| Attribute |
| 01-01-2011 |
| 01-02-2011 |
| 01-03-2011 |
| 01-04-2011 |
However, if I try to use this attribute column as a filter, it doesn't work!! How can I establish relationship between data in the original table and the attribute column of duplicate table?
P.S. Is there any other way to sort out this issue??? Pls help!
