Hi,

could anybody tell me how to set up an attribute in power pivot in which you can filter your data.

Basically we have one sales file that we prepare, and upload in PQ, after that we unpivot columns that have financial data, but i can not make
an attribute like one on the picture, which you can drop in pivot table and filter it.

I do not have a lot of dax measures just MTD, YTD, and sum for the values. It a simple file.

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Attribute is a default column name given to the Unpivotted columns. This becomes then a dimension which holds as values the original column headers. Per default this column can be used to filter data in the pivot.
Not sure I understand what your issue is. Maybe you can share some sample data and your PQ code.

Problem is that I do not get it as dimension, in which I can filter data, maybe I have done something wrong.
I would share the file but it has 43 MB.

I basically have appended 4 tables, as an new query, sorted some things and unpivot the columns which contain financial data.

Loading this query as a pivot table should allow you to filter the pivot on that dimension.
