Power BI doesn’t support multi-row legends directly. Here’s a workaround:
- Turn off the default legend in the Format pane.
- Create a manual legend using a separate Matrix or Table visual:
- Place it at the top-left.
- Add your legend field and use conditional formatting (if needed) to match colours.
- Resize and arrange it to look like a multi-row legend.
Thanks,
