I have a dataset with 2 columns:

A    B   Balance

18  26    25

26  25    50

26 17     75

19 26     50

29 18     100

 

I want to be able to create a pivot table where I can group (and count, sum etc)  on a calculated field which treats values in column A or B as the same. For example, resulting pivot will look like the following:

 

AorB      count  sum(Balance)

17              1         75

18              2         125

19              1          50

25              1          50

26              4          200

 

Please help!!!!

    You can do that with a union. Drag your table into the data pane, then drag it over top of it again to create a union. It'll look something like this:

    Then create a calculated field like this (make sure to convert it to a dimension, if it's appearing as a measure):

     

    AorB

    IF [Table Name]="Sheet1" THEN

        [A]

    ELSE

        [B]

    END

     

    Then you can do your aggregation:
