How to filter columns by type of value

Hi, I'm fairly new to using Power BI

 

I have sales from a bar and I have all the records categorized as either "food" or "drinks" all in the same table. I've tried using filter() but I'm probably using it wrong. What I want to do is create a correlation graph between subcategories, for example, how likely is someone to order a beer if they're having a pizza sort of thing. So the idea is to filter with categories food and drinks, then use the segmentation tool to choose from the subcategories.

 

How can I do this?

@cabbit Sorry, having trouble following, can you post sample data as text and expected output?
Not really enough information to go on, please first check if your issue is a common issue listed here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/Before-You-Post-Read-This/ba-p/1116882

Also, please see this post regarding How to Get Your Question Answered Quickly: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Community-Blog/How-to-Get-Your-Question-Answered-Quickly/ba-p/38490

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
