Hi Folks,
I am building a metrics visual and have two fields in rows. Is there any way to repeat row headers when I expand rows(drill-down). We can do this thing in Excel pivot table. I need same kind of visual in Power BI. Please to the screenshots for better understanding. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Note: I have disabled stepped layout and row subtotals.
Regards,

Hi @Anonymous
It's not able to achieve in the matrix currently, you might consider adding the collapse expand option in the table by developing a custom visual.

Please also kindly raise it as an idea in the portal to bring the feature coming:

Hi @Anonymous ,
I do not think this is possible.
Incase you want it to be displayed for all rows, you can switch to the Table Format.
Else have a look at the market place
