Pivot a Power BI Matrix

Hi Experts,

 

I currently have data displayed in a Power BI Matrix as shown below.

Now my boss wants to pivot the Matrix to display the data as shown below (YYYY-MM will be increased overtime).

I have tried to create a new table by a DAX function but did not help

Could you please help me?

Many thanks!

On your matrix you can turn on 'Switch values to rows' and move the YYYY-MM to the columns.

I have moved the YYYY-MM to the columns. Where is the 'Show values on rows' please?  Could you please give me some screenshots?
