Creating a Matrix with a static column

Hello,

 

I have data that I am displaying in a Matrix.

chowell2_0-1678127722947.png

The first column is a name, and then the rest of the columns are the month in which the data is collected. I would like to insert a column that is just a more detailed description of the first column. The end result would be a matrix with two static columns and then fluctuating date columns, but I can't find out how to insert the 'description' row into the matrix.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The addional information belongs to the name? Than create a new column in the table where the name column is. Insert in this column your description and than add this column to "row" to the matrix.

Turn off under Format -> row header the +/- icon

And make a drilldown and also turn off "stepped layout":
