Automatic GroupBy while summation

Hi PowerBI Community, 
I am facing an issue where while doing summation of a column it is automatically summing after grouping the data 
For example if input data is 

On doing Sum , output I am getting

Even though the final Sum is correct, but it is summarizing the data for field Name a as 4 and not keeping the values of a separate as 2 and 2. Is there any way to make this happen. Thanks in advance

    Hi Sparsh98 ,

    The fields in the form/matrix will auto-groupby. it's by design.
    The workaround is to add an index column (in powerquery) and disguise it as a row number.

      No , I want to do sum on column Value . Post doing sum , it is combining rows 1 and 2 , and I am getting combined sum as 4 for Name 'a' . Thats is what I want to prevent as it is impacting the number of rows in my case . 
      I want to do sum on column Values , but the number of rows should not get altered

        So the first table image is your data table. Am I right?
        You want to see on the matrix visual the same as you see on the first table?
