How to drag a column for grouping by that column in table visual

Hi,

 

I'm wondering if below scenarion can be accomplished in power bi.

A) I have a table visual showing product data as above.

B) I want BI user to analyze their inquiry results by dragging a column so that data is grouped by a selected column.

    For example, user A dragged Channel and then Color. Then, the data should be disaplyed as above.

    It's like a very simple pivot table in Excel.

C) If user A dragged Color first and then Channel, then the data should be disaplyed as above.

 

I can meet this requiremnts by using a matrix visual, but this job should be allowed to Power BI end users not designer.

Any comments will be very appreciated.

Hi @MichaelShown ,

According to your description, here's my solution.

1.Create two field parameters.

Drag Channel and Color columns to the dialog

Then put the two parameters in matrix Rows and Item code in Values.
