Adding a customized column group in table matrix

Is there a way to add a customized column group in table matrix similar to the image below?     The counts are all measures.

    tomperro this needs you to create a custom table with the intended structure. 

    col1 with values : selected 6 months period ,  selected 6 month period vs previous 6 montth period. 

    col2  with values : the name of the measures. 

     

    then drag and drop them into the matrix in the columns. 

    create one measure with switch statement : 

    switch 

    true() ,

    selectedvalue col2 = measure1 , [ measure1]  , 

    selectedvalue col2 = measure2 , [ measure2]  , 

    ...

     

    let me know if this helps.

    Hi tomperro ,

     

    Thanks for the reply from Daniel29195 .

     

    Here's the example data I created:

    Test Type

    Column1

    Column2

    111

    1

    18

    222

    2

    17

    333

    3

    16

    444

    4

    15

    555

    5

    14

    666

    6

    13

    777

    7

    12

    888

    8

    11

    999

    9

    10

     

    Create a few simple measures:

    A1 = AVERAGE('Table'[Column1])
    
    A2 = COUNT('Table'[Column2])
    
    B1 = SUM('Table'[Column1])
    
    B2 = SUM('Table'[Column2])

     

    Create a table:

    Table 2 = CROSSJOIN(VALUES('Table'[Test Type]),{"Group A", "Group B"})

     

    Create two measures that serve to group A1 and B1 into Group A and A2 and B2 into Group B.

    Measure = 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group A",CALCULATE([A1],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type]))),
        MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group B",CALCULATE([A2],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type])))
    )
    
    Measure 2 = 
    SWITCH(
        TRUE(),
        MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group A",CALCULATE([B1],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type]))),
        MAX('Table 2'[Value])="Group B",CALCULATE([B2],FILTER('Table','Table'[Test Type]=MAX('Table 2'[Test Type])))
    )

     

    Using the matrix visual object for display, the final page visualization is shown below:

     

    If this doesn't help you solve the problem. I would be grateful if you could provide me with the pbix file or sample data.
