Table/matrix with a lot text

I want to migrate a crystal report to Power BI. The screenshot is the old crystal report. It shows only one event/row, and there are a lot of events following(does not show on the screenshot). Is it possible to have something similar in Power BI?

To make it clear, below is the format of the above crystal report table:

I tried matrix with stepped layout turned off. But since some of my columns have a lot of text (the grey part of above screenshot), it is not possible for all columns to squeeze in my Power BI matrix. Below is the Power Bi screenshot. It is already very ungly, and I still have some other columns to add.

So you basically want to show columns as rows.   You can do that by pre-pivoting your data in Power Query.

@lbendlin @Could you please elaborate? Which column should be transposed? I add a sample report here
