Primary header and secondary header for the column in the Power BI matrix table.

I need to create a matrix table in Power BI and add a main header for the columns and another secondary header as illustrated below:

Hi @Rai_Lomarques 

If Real/Budget are measures, there is no native way to put measures above the column hierarchy in matrix. A workaround is to use a disconnected table containing measure names and reference them in another measure.

Hey buddy,

You just need to use a matrix visual. Then, place the column with your Actual/Budget in the Columns section, and the column with the Date underneath. Of course, make sure the model is set up correctly first.

If you can upload your model I can check
