Repeat Row Labels(Headers) in Metrics

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,

Sankalp

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.

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
