Showing all Column Headers in a matrix

Good day to all,

 

Using the example from enjoysharepoint below:

 

power-bi-matrix-multiple-column-header.png

I am unable to find a suitable way to show the row header for the second line. In the example above, it would be something like 'Region' in a row to match Central, East, etc. 'Segment' would be below it.
I have a measure in the Values.

 

I discovered that if I used the "Separator trick" for better formatting, it will actually show that header. (Trick = Using a measure to add a '|' then coloring it the same as the background to give a visual appearance of separating sections.

Downside of this is when you know people will extract the data and they see the separator columns in the Excel file....)

 

Am I missing a setting somewhere to get that last header in the columns to show up?

Note that I find similar examples to the one above in Microsoft's Matrix documentation.

 

Thanks,

Trent
