How do I group a matrix by Values?

I have a table similar to the following table built in PBI. There are 4 metrics and they are compared accross 3 dates.

If you unpivot the value columns in the query editor, then you can use the resulting attribute column for your column headers.

Getting the formatting how you want it is a separate challenge.

Can you provide a sample dataset? Depending on how your data is pivoted or unpivoted the solution could be rather different.

Here is a mock sample of the data set.

So I tried the solution you suggested however only one of the attributes is showing up. Any idea what I can do to make all the attributes show up?
