Power BI visual with Table matrix look in Word

Hi,
Need to build a visual such that the tabular visual resembles a table matrix like in Word.

I am not sure if the Matrix visual allows for the rows to be each metric. Does this need to be a summary visuals stacked one upon another? Any examples would help.

Hi @Rdarshana 

Yes, this can be achieved in Power BI using the Matrix visual.
You can pivot values from rows to columns to get the same layout.

The + / - / = symbols can be added through formatting options available per measure in the visualization.

To create spacing between sections, you can insert a blank measure that will render as an empty row.

Bonus: Unlike in Word, the Matrix visual automatically aligns all numeric values to the right, so the units line up neatly under one another and the numbers don’t “jump around.”

This was resolved by hovering the mouse over the column divider. You can move the column divider accordingly.

Thanks for the details. 
Another question around the padding. I need to show some space between the text and the numerical values. I am unable to add space or padding in between. Is there a way to accomplish this?
