Power BI doesn’t support multi-row legends directly. Here’s a workaround:

  1. Turn off the default legend in the Format pane.
  2. 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.
  3. Resize and arrange it to look like a multi-row legend.
