How to categorize or label date on a matrix/table ?

Hello! 

I want to "categorize" date on a matrix/table, just to clean it up and avoid repeating words in the rows. 

 

My matrix/table is this, each row is the value of a measure and I have 2 fact tables, INC_table & REQ_table

 

This is my visual currenly, with the values shown per week.

Matrix AMatrix A

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And this is how I would like to have as the visual

Matrix BMatrix B

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm lost and not sure how can thisw be accomplished, If you have any ideas please send them my way 

 

Thanks in advance,

Carlos

HI @Anonymous,

You can add a custom table with all row types and use them as row of the matrix.

After these steps, you can write measure formula to check current row and column values to lookup and summarize different table records.
