Power BI Matrix - show grouped rows as single row

Hi

I am a beginner to Power BI so forgive my naive question.  I have a matrix showing number of days against a project by year.  The project has a name and belongs to a group.  In the matrix these grouped columns show on separate rows.  Can I get them to show on a single row.  As the project is unique there can only ever be a single row combination.  I know how I would do this in excel using a pivot table but I can't see how to get the same visual in Power BI.

Hi @slw_wills ,

 

Try to turn off the "Stepped layout" option.

Thanks olgad for your reply.  Shame it doesn't do what I want, but if that is how it is then at least I know I'm not missing a trick.  Thanks again.

Hi, no it is the way Power BI works displaying next level in hierarchy down, you can turn on the row totls to have the totals on the upper levels
