When I combine measures and the content of a column in a matrix, I always get the visualization of all the combinations. For example:
- Measures: Sales Amount, Sales YOY%
- Year: 2020, 2019

The visual displays 4 combinations, producing the cartesian products of all the measures and all the years selected. It would be useful to create a list of the combinations required, such as:
( [Sales Amount], 'Date'[Year]."2020" ),
( [Sales Amount], 'Date'[Year]."2019" ),
( [Sales Amount YOY%], 'Date'[Year]."2020" ),

The primary goal would be to obtain the desired result in a Matrix, but this would be also useful for Table and other visuals, including charts.
