PBI Matrix Visual: how to put measure/value/metric above column header?

Hi team, 

Is there a way to put measure names above column header like in Excel?

For example, in a matrix visual, I have 2 measures (Sales, Budget) in value, Year/Quarter in column. PBI stacks both measures under the same QTR, it is very hard to read.

I know in Excel pivot table, if there are multiple measures, you can move it to the 1st order on columns. Just wonder if PBI can do the same.

I figured it out! I created a calculated group with 2 measures (Amount, VPY), added it to Matrix column header, it worked 😄
