Not sure where to start

I have a need to build a flexible matrix report and I unfortunately do not know where to start.

 

Essentially I need to display different types of data in rows inside a single matrix.  Below is an example of what I mean when I say that, but effectively I need to be able to showcase many different metrics over time and I need to do it all in a single table/matrix.

 

I've built a lot of different out of the box reports and visualizations in Power BI, but this one escapes me.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

If you're just looking at out-of-the-box visuals, then the matrix is the closest one. 
To get the measures to show horizontally, go to Format Visual > Values > Options > Switch values to rows.
