When you click + on Q1, we can see the results for January, February, March and Q1. What should be used for custom visuals in the matrix visual? There should be a + button. I want to do it without drilldown and hierarchy.
This is sample data.
Thanks and regards
Gopi.

Hi @srinudatanalyst ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.
Power BI’s default matrix expands with drill-down, but you want that expanding effect without drill-down or hierarchy. We’ll use bookmarks and buttons to toggle between Quarter view and Month view.
1. Prepare your data/model
Make sure your date table has columns for Year, Quarter, and Month.
Your data model should have a relationship between the date table and your fact table.
2. Create two matrix visuals:
Matrix 1: Shows data aggregated by Quarter (e.g., Q1, Q2).
Matrix 2: Shows data by Month (Jan, Feb, Mar) filtered for Q1 only.
3. Place both matrices on the report page
Place them on top of each other or place side by side.
Initially, Matrix 1 (Quarter view) is visible.
Hide Matrix 2 (Month view) by setting its visibility off (using Selection Pane).
4. Create two bookmarks
Open the Selection Pane (View > Selection).
Open the Bookmarks Pane (View > Bookmarks).
Bookmark 1: Quarter view
Make only Matrix 1 visible.
Hide Matrix 2.
Add bookmark and name it QuarterView.
Make sure to uncheck "Data" and only keep "Display" checked.
Bookmark 2: Month view
Hide Matrix 1.
Show Matrix 2 (filtered for Q1 months).
Add bookmark and name it MonthView.
Again, uncheck "Data" and keep only "Display" checked.
5. Add buttons to toggle between views
Insert > Buttons > Blank (or use a "+" icon button).
Place this button near Q1 in Matrix 1 for expanding.
In the button’s **Action** settings:
Turn Action on.
Type: Bookmark.
Bookmark: MonthView.
Similarly, add a button (like a "−" icon) near Month Matrix to go back to Quarter view.
Set its action to bookmark: QuarterView.
6. Filter Month Matrix for Q1 months only
Add a filter or slicer for the Month matrix visual that shows Jan, Feb, Mar only.
You can use a measure or visual-level filter like Quarter = Q1 to restrict this matrix to only Q1 months.
7. Test your solution
Click the "+" button near Q1 — the view should switch to Month Matrix showing Jan, Feb, Mar.
Click the "−" button to go back to Quarter Matrix.
Find attached Pbix file for your reference.

You can enhance the appearance of the drilled-down data using conditional formatting within the standard Matrix visual. Does that help you ?
