How to show filed name in rows of a matrix

Hi everyone
I would appreciate any help in the below mentioned problem.
In power BI Matrix visual if I add multiple fields in Rows section then it only shows the name of first field on the visual and if I click the plus icon it expands to the next field level but doesn't show its name on the visual. Is there any way that I could expand to the next level it shall show the next level as a new column with it's name. You can suggest if there is any other visual than matrix that can solve this.
Please see the attached image for further clarification.  Thank you so much

Hi @rashidanwar,

You can drill these fields to the bottom level and turn off 'stepped layout' to show these column headers. For more detailed information, you can refer to the official document:

Hi @rashidanwar ,

 

Click on the visal and go to row headers.

If you turn Stepped Layout off it will show the next level as an extra column with the name.
