Try using the 'Scale Points' option in the Matrix question configuration menu to add extra columns to the matrix.

Thank you! Unfortunately I'm not able to use Scale Points to add columns for the Drop Down Matrix table (only the radio button, check boxes, and text entry). Scale Points adds additional selections for the single drop down column, but I haven't figured out a way to add additional columns with the drop down list.

In a drop-down matrix the drop-down options are the scale points.

If you want multiple drop-downs per row, you can use a side-by-side question instead.

Thank you Tom - Side by side is exactly what I needed! I really appreciate the help (I'm new to Qualtrics so it's much appreciated).

This is a great accepted answer. For added information, after you select "side by side" you need to select "Column Options" to change the field to a drop-down list (see screenshot)
