Is there a way to format tables with multiple layered columns?

Hi there, I don't think it is possible, even in a matrix table but I thought I'll enquire on here if it is possible to format a table in such a way as this one below (created in excel):

I've blocked out some sensitive data, however, I was wondering if in the same table you could create heirarchal columns like the one's on the right hand side? Assembly / Workshop --> (year groups / total) ? 

I've tried to look at a Matrix table and that doesn't have the right format either. Any help would be appreciated.

Create your  data with

 

Status

School

Region

Assembly

Workshop

Amount

 

In a matrix visula  drag

Row = Status, School, Region

Columns = Assembly, Workshop

Values = Amount

 

Then use the fork icon in the expander controls to view all the levels.

Please post some sample data as a table (not a screen shot) so we can quickly import it and create a solution.

Hide any private data.

Hi @speedramps is there any way I can send you a sample PBIX file? Cause there's quite a lot of tables. 

 

You can save a PBIX on Onedrive with view share access and them post the link here.

 

However, we wont have access to your data sources !

 

So it is a good idea to use Enter Data to copy and paste demo data from your source data.
You can copy and paste 499 rows at a time which is plenty for a demo.
Remove any private data.

The Enter Data table is then save as part of the PBIX and is shared.

See this example

Actually @speedramps i've just played about with the fork more and I've managed to make it the way I needed, I just didn't use the drill options on columns! Thank you for your patience and assistance, I've accepted as best answer. 

Hi @speedramps thank you for your suggestion. I've tried the Matrix visual and this was the best I could do:

Am I doing this wrong or is this the best I can get with what I want?
