HI @Power_Bi_User12,
You can add a calculated column to use the text function 'LEFT' to extract the left 2 characters from the 'quarter year' field, then you can use it on the matrix column field to group your records:
Quarter =
LEFT ( Table[QYear], 2 )LEFT function (DAX) - DAX | Microsoft Docs

You need to add calculated columns for the row headers, use separate matrix visuals, or create a bunch of custom measures.
