Merge cells in matrix visualisation - show common text merged across cells in a row

Hi.

 

Is it possible to merge cells across a row in a matrix visualisation so that is displays the common text only once?  I don't want the text to be repeated in every cell.  It can be done in ecel but I would like to do this in Power BI if it's possible.  

 

Example in excel.

This is how it looks in Power BI.  I would like to be able to somehow merge the description as above in excel.

Any ideas would be very welcome. Thank you.

@SonyT01 , No. The child will repeat when the parent value changes.
