Create pivot table visual

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to create a visual that resembles the following table:

Category 1Category 2Category 3Jan-24Feb-24Mar-24
A2B2C233114
A3B3C34422111
A4B4C4567

I want users to dynamically select which columns for Category 1, Category 2, etc., should be displayed. I've achieved this using a parameter table. However, when users make selections from the slicer, the categories appear in a hierarchy within the matrix visual. My goal is to have them displayed as individual columns instead.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this column-by-column view? Thank you!

Hi @asparagus1_ 

Have you the tabular view in the matrix with repeat headers on.

This puts them in seperate columns.
