Rearranging Matrix/Table

Hi,

 

I am working with a matrix visual to display Report Nmes, URLs and Report Descriptions.

I need the description instead to be diplayed below each report name, instead of in its own column.

Like I said earlier, I'm using the matrix, but actively searching for any visual that might satisfy these needs in a better way - open to suggestions if you have any in mind!

Not sure if you can get display exactly like that easily. But concatenate your name and report with a newline character in a new column or formula and try.

Can you please explain with an example. If possible please share a sample pbix file after removing sensitive information.
Thanks

@amitchandak Below is the example I have. Note how the description is printed below each report name. The hyperlink icons in my report are replacing the >> arrows seen below.

Alright, the column I created was done through this statement.

master[Report Name] & UNICHAR(10) & master[Report Description]

 

And here is what I was able to create. Is this what you were getting at, @amitchandak ?

@Anonymous, I was expecting that will give you output like that. But does it solve the purpose?

Try to put Report Name, Description as 'Rows'; URL as 'Values'; expand to the next level and supress 'Row subtotals'
If first column is wide enought, it might work
