Column Order in Matrix - Show all columns for each value together

Is there an equivalent feature in Power BI to Excel pivot table sigma values field that would allow me to keep all columns for each value together in the matrix visual when displaying multiple values?

Hi @unclebocky ,

 

Currently, there seems no direct feature to achieve.

Here's my workaround.

Sample data

1.Create a hierarchical table. I created by entering data.

2.Create a measure that returns different types of results.

Measure =
SWITCH (
    MAX ( 'Table (2)'[Type] ),
    "Premium",
        SUMX (
            FILTER ( 'Table', [Category] = MAX ( 'Table (2)'[Category] ) ),
            [Premium]
        ),
    "Sale", SUMX ( FILTER ( 'Table', [Category] = MAX ( 'Table (2)'[Category] ) ), [Sale] )
)

Here's the result.

Here is an example.  This is showing year of coverage on the rows and gender as a column field.  I am showing two value measures of sales and premium.  I instead want to show the two sales columns side by side and then the two premiums columns side by side for each gender.  If this was an excel pivot table, I could just use the "Σ Values" field to reorder the columns.  Is there an equivalent in PBI?
