Drill down and drill across in matrix

Hi,

 

I want to create a matrix where I can group certain measures together and then be able to drill down and across, see below example:

 

Table       
Category ChairsTablesDesksPantsT-shirtsJerseys 
COUNT123456 
        
Want to group by columns like this      
CategoryGroupBy Furniture      
SUM6      
CategoryGroupBy Clothing      
SUM15      
        
But then be able to drill down and across on either furniture or clothing    
CategoryGroupBy Furniture      
Category ChairsTablesDesks    
Value123    
CategoryGroupBy Clothing      
Category PantsT-shirtsJerseys    
Value456    

 

Thank you

if my source data consist of 20 million rows and then to unpivot this data would result in quite a large dataset, would this not impact power BI performance and ability to process potentially a billion rows?

@Rambo_1 If Table represents your source data, I would recommend unpivoting the columns. Then use Grouping to categorize your Attribute column by Furniture and Clothing.
