Matrix Table Layout

So my organization has recently made the decision to move from Tableau to Power BI and so I have been working to recreate the reports I has made in Tableau in Power BI. There are obviously some differences in the capabilities with certain visuals, and this is one of them. 

I have a matrix table in Tableau that has a "column/value" portion that looks like this:

I was wondering if it is possible to do this in Power BI? I know you can drill down on the columns and such but that is not what I want to do. For data privacy reasons I cannot show the rows, but it is really the columns/values portion that I cannot get to look this way. Any help is greatly appriciated.

Hi , @ACraig08 

According to your description, you want to show the Matrix visual like your screenshot and you do not want to show the rows in it .

Here are the steps you can refer to :
(1)This is my test data:

(2)We can put the fields on the Matrix visual and we can close the ”Column SubTotals“ and "Rows SubTotals":

(3)Then we can configure the "Conditional format" for the value.

Then we can get this Table:

For this you can refer to :
Apply conditional table formatting in Power BI - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

 

(4)If you do not need to show the rows , you can close the "Text wrap" in the Format Pane of this visual:

Then you can drag your mouse to hide the row headers in it:

Thank you for your time and sharing, and thank you for your support and understanding of PowerBI!
