Gouping a list with group headers in a hierarchy

I'm using Microsoft Power BI Desktop. I want to create a simple report that uses grouping and has the grouped field as a header, so a sort of hierachy is created.

For example a report of invoices with the articles that belong to the invoice below the invoice number as a list, without 'Invoice 1" being repeated on every article line:

 

Invoice 1

    article 1      €5

    article 2      €6

Invoice 2

    article 1      €3

    article 2      €3

 

 

How can make such a report in Microsoft Power BI?

You are looking for that classic Pivot Table look in Compact Form however we don't have this look yet.

@RHAD Sounds like you want a matrix. Here is the sample data set

and here is what it looks like by dropping it in a matrix (I removed the total columns in formatting) These are 2 examples on the same data set, one by invoice only, the other with article. The data will automatically aggregate depending on what fields you have in the matrix.
