    Anonymous here is sample code, go to query edit, and add blank query, in advanced editor, paste below code. Apply the changes and one table is loaded, put a matrix visual, add fruit type and fruit column on rows and drill down and you will get the result

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WciwoyElVSExKVorVgfEqKqsUDMF838S89HwFQyNjJF5aYjGKbHZalgKyfE4OslnlqVVKsbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Fruit = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Fruit", type text}}),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Fruit Type", each Text.BeforeDelimiter([Fruit]," " ))
in
    #"Added Custom"
