Value columns ordering in PowerBI Matrix

Hi,

 

In PowerBI matrix, to show metrics for different categories, you can simply put the category column in Columns section.

It's super easy but the final outputs will be hard to compare especially if there is many fields in the Values section. 

 

This picture shows the final output if we put the product column in the Columns section:

To make the comparision easier, I was thinking about grouping the columns by value name and show the categories in the second row as in this image:

I need to know if it's possible to achive this in PowerBI in a straigt forward way or in a workaround.

 

Thanks!.

This is achievable in an Excel PivotTable, not not in the matrix visual
