I've been tasked with modifying an existing dashboard and need to add a column to a simple Matrix visualization. At the moment it displays client as the row heading, year as the column heading and the amount summed. Simple enough. I need to add a second row heading showing the sales zone. I've added the field to the rows list and it appears in the matrix, but you have to expand the row to view the data. I'd like to just have the two columns displayed. In an excel pivot table this would be the option to view the column in tabular format.
This is probably really simple but I've been trying to work this out for hours and haven't advanced. I think its possible because this web page contains an example just below the text 'Adjust the column width of a table':
