    Do you mean you want to achieve sevaral columns like [Main Category], [Second level Category], [Thrid level Category] and etc in the columns section in matrix visual, right?

     

    If that's what you want to achieve, you can click query editor-> transform and click on the hierarchy columns above, then click unpivot columns.

     

    After applied, you can create a matrix visual and then drag the new generated "value" column into column section.
