    RT3308 unfortunaltey you cannot achieve this to repeat the value on each row for main group. May be you want to add this on ideas forum or vote if Idea already exists.

Hi RT3308 

It is possible with a workaround, but it need some transformation in Edit queries.

Add a custom column->remove date column->pivot columns->add total column

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("fc8xCsAgDIXhu2QWqkkQOta5dOwi3v8aTQdbJTFDUPiGn1crHBAgyd3vu6UNY9rlixFamBV/JVZKg2albCrKXXOXFQ7ZqJA8ZAtJ7pybGs1mR7PZUTWLvRO1oqvk6pBN+dPl1uJtLd7WstzaHg==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [region = _t, class = _t, des = _t, date = _t, value = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"region", type text}, {"class", Int64.Type}, {"des", type text}, {"date", type date}, {"value", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Combine({Text.Start(Date.MonthName([date]), 3), Text.From(Date.Year([date]), "en-US")}, "-")),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Added Custom",{{"Custom", "month-year"}}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"date"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[#"month-year"]), "month-year", "value"),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Pivoted Column", "total", each [#"Jan-2019"]+[#"Feb-2019"]+[#"Mar-2019"]+[#"Apr-2019"])
in
    #"Added Custom1"

Code in Advanced editor

Wow... thanks for that v-juanli-msft  That would have been perfect if I can use pivot table.  My data source is an SSAS Tabular Model (Dimensions-FactTables) wouldn't work for that approach. :( This would mean that I'd need to use Table instead of a Matrix. Hmmm... this is so challenging.  I wonder if there are other workarounds.
