Repeating list values, matrix in list issue - Power BI Report Builder

I'm working in Power BI Report Builder and I have some questions. 

 

I'm using a list and a matrix and I'm using a page break to distribute the data across multiple pages. In the list, I'm displaying some overall values from the group, and in the Matrix, I'm showing detailed data broken down by sample number. I have an issue in this that I'm hoping someone can help me with!

The last column is dynamic and I don't know how many columns it will end up displaying. For some of my samples, there are so many that the matrix overflows to the next page. I'm repeating the other columns when this happens and I'm happy with the matrix but the text values on the top of my list are not repeating when the matrix is overflowing to the next page. So on the first page of a matrix we have the headers but when it overflows to the next page it's empty. I set the RepeatWith properties of the four text boxes to repeat with the matrix but it's not working. Also tried to set them to repeat with the list but it makes no difference. Has anyone done this before and can help me out?

Thank you @Anonymous ! I put all my info that needs repeating in the text box. I had to put everything in the first column for it to fit so now I have 4 values of text in a row instead of 2 and 2 but that will have to work. 😁
