How to group items?

I am trying to generate a report similar to the example below but I cannot get the report to group my Product.  From what I can find the "Group" feature in PBI is for grouping within a given field, which seems all but useless. 
I get two results:
1. The Product Areas are ignored. 

2. Project Types are ignored. 

How do I display both? 

The data hierarchy is as follows:

Products contain Projects 

Each project falls into a Project Type (example shows A-F)

Each Project has a Status

I believe you should be able to do an add-hoc hierarchy in your x-axis with Products and then Projects. Then use Status as your Legend. Use a Stacked column chart. You will want to use the forked arrow to drill through from Products to Projects.

 

Grouping has its uses.

Thanks, but that doesn't work. I get the same results as if I didn't have a hierarchy.

Hello @Daviator

If I'm getting you right, you need a 3-axis chart. Here's a discussion about it that might help.
