Otherwise, you can't measure columns in Power BI. You could put it in Values, but for it to work for the screenshot you've posted, you'd have to create a separate measure for each MoM$ Month (for example, July Mem $, August MoM $, etc.) otherwise you'll end up with the repeated project name for each month.
I guess another option would be to turn off automatic resizing of column widths and make additional project columns result from hidden values as suggested by @Greg_Deckler
Does any of that make sense?

I use the folliing query to create a new meansure called Project Name as "subscription name" means very little to my users.
Project Name = If(CONTAINS('Subscriptions','Subscription'[Subscription Name],"XXXXX"),"New Project Name"
They can then use the report and look at their "Projects".
Desired result below... simply replacing the content of "Subscriptions" field with the contents of "Project Name"
