Matrix - measure on rows (not on the last position)

Hi everyone.

 

I have a Matrix with 3 Rows, 1 Column and a couple of Measures on the Values. I need to place those Measures on the Rows, and I know the option "Show On Rows" allows just that. The thing is that I need the Measures (the values) to be shown between Row 1 and Row 3 (as the 2nd Row), and not on the last position (4th Row). To make it clearer, this is what happens:

 

Row 1 (Field) - Row 2 (Field) - Row 3 (Field) - Row 4 (Measures).

 

And this what I need to have:

 

Row 1 (Field) - Row 2 (Measures) - Row 3 (Field) - Row 4 (Field).

 

Is this possible? Can I not only place my Measures on Rows but choose in which order they will be shown?

 

Thanks!

You can sort the order of the rows by changing the Row Index

Can you share some sample data and required output in a visual manner. Not very clear as of now.

Thank you for your response, and sorry for the unclear explanation.

 

I’ve attached two pictures that I hope can make it a bit clearer. The “Matrix_as_is” shows the matrix that I have at the moment, and the numbers show the current position of the rows. Number 4 are my measures, because I have the “Show on Rows” option enabled.

 

The ”Matrix_to_be” shows the Matrix like I would like it to be ordered. In position number 1 I would have the same field as before, but right below I would have all my measures. Position 3 and 4 would be occupied by the other fields.

 

Like I said before, it’s just a matter of not only placing the values in the rows, but at the same time, if I had like 10 fields placed in the Rows, I could choose in which position my values would be shown if I had the “Show on Rows” enabled. By default, the values are shown in the last position of the row.
