Finding a Table Visual that groups a top level item

I have a visal that someone has specifically requested and I am really struggling to find something good to use

 

essentially they want a table and the first column has a 1 to many with the other columns. So they want this to be grouped as above. It doesnt seem like the Power BI Table can do this?

 

I tried a matrix but that doesnt work because the values are descriptions so it just brings the first one in.  Can anyone help me find a visual that will work in this way?

 

thanks in Advance

    Table visual doesn't support that. You can use Matrix to get a similar result. In the matrix, you need to put all these four columns on rows. Then expand it to the lowest hierarchy. Turn off +/- icons and Stepped layout under Row headers.

      that doesnt give me what I want. It just steps everything and only shows the title of the first column. 

       

       

      It now makes no sense as a visual. Surely there must be something in Power BI that allows you to to this?
