Hi,
I am trying to convert a SSRS report to Power BI and the formatting is tripping me up. The SSRS Matrix header looks like the following:
I have a table in Power BI but it's lacking the header columns "Beginning" and "Change In Period" as shown in the image above. Is is possible to create a similar behavior for a table in Power BI?
Thanks.

Yes outside of the table. If you have too many columns and dynamic then it may not work and it will not come as part of export as well.
@Hariharan_R . Thank you kindly for your response. When you say "place text boxes on top of the columns", you mean outside of the table? If so, I don't think it will work for me because I have so many columns and when I scroll to the right or left, there will be a disconnect between the text box and the column headers.

Hi @brdrok - If you want to achieve the same formatting in Power BI desktop matrix then it is not possible directly. As a workaround, You need to place text boxes on top of the columns to get the same layout but if the columns are dynamic then that workaround also will not help.
Thanks
Hari
