How to disable hierachy display in matrix for multiple rows?

I have many columns of the table as rows in a matrix and no columns in matrix. The values are a measure. The rows in this matrix appear such that values of column2 is nested inside values of column1 and it can be expanded and seen when you click the + sign next to values of column1. I want to prevent this nesting and show the combinations of column1 + column2 side by side instead like a cross-multiplication of the values of column. How do I disable the hierachy? 

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi, @afaro 

With your matrix visual selected, go to the Format pane  in the Visualizations pane. Expand the Row headers section, find the Stepped layout option, and toggle it to Off. This action prevents the automatic nesting of values from column2 under column1, aligning them in the same row instead.
