In a regular PivotTable we can nest axis labels e.g. we can group regional data by year. Currently PowerBI only supports one level of X axis labels.

There are loads of areas where this would be useful but one example is with the MailChimp campaign data which currently only allows you to list all the campaigns alphabetically. I want to group/sort by date. My only option is to use Slicers to filter out periods I don't want, but that doesn't really help me see them in date order.

You can nest x-axis labels in column charts! You can read more about the feature here: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-november-feature-summary/#hierarchicalAxis

RE: Nested X Axis Labels

This is a very important feature. Not having it rests strategic capabilities to the tool. Please do it!

Without this tool it's amateur software BI. It's lot of work without the correct visualizatio. Don't waste your time as i do, no solution.

RE: Nested X Axis Labels

Something standard that I would have expected to already be included but here I sit without the use of this function. Not really fond of drilling down.
