Custom matrix question

I have a matrix I am building out. 

I want to add about 20 different metrics/values to it. 

About 10 should show up under the "column" option, the other 10 will have no column option applied to it.

So, for the example below, 10 metrics would apply to all purpose bike stand, awc logo cap and bike wash dissolver, while the other 10 should be a total metrics for product name: promotion category.

It would be ideal if I could add all 20 metrics into the matrix build out and then have the metrics only show up if applicable. 

For example, I created a simple measure to show up as blank when not under AWC logo cap.  But it still shows the blank column.

Is there a way to tell the matrix visualization to not display blank columns/measures?

@Anonymous, unfortunately, there is no way to hide columns but there is a workaround in another post, see if that works for you.
