Table Visual Grouped Column Headers

I have a table visual with 92 columns with 1500 rows.  Each column has it's own column header for example

Customer NameCustomer StateCustomer CountryCar MakeCar ModelCar Year Made
DanIowaUSAHondaCivic2018
MattMinnesotaUSAToyotaCamry1998

 

I would like the table visual to group the first 3 columns and the last 3 columns with different Group headers without converting it into a matrix/pivot, such that:

 

        Customer Information          Car Information           

 NameStateCountryMakeModelYear 
DanIowaUSAHondaCivic2018
MattMinnesotaUSAToyotaCamry1998

                 

I have found solutions for pivot/matrix but not plain ol' Table visual.

 

 

Thank you

I have tried merge columns but users do not want the column to be merged. They want another heading above the column heading to visually organize the columns below.

 

 

Again, this is all you.  Create calculated columns or Groups that hold your desired hierarchy levels.

Hi @shintamanning ,

You can try merge columns:

The final output is as below:

Hi @shintamanning 

 

Create these new columns in Power Query by concatenating the separate column values then display them in your table.

That's all you - use Power Query for these transforms, or calculated columns.
