Matrix automatically creates drill down

Hi all. PBI newbie, just completed a Power BI Desktop online course so am now roaming free so to speak. Have some experiance with SSRS and the report builder. First attempt with PBI and I have hit a problem that when connected to an SQL DB, I add rows to a Matrix which then automatically creates a drill down that I can't seem to disable. I really don't want this, can someone advise how I stop it? Didn't come up against or experinece it during the course, all sample files used were CSV's! Hope someone can help, much appreciated Gazza, Darwin Australia.

Hi, @Anonymous 

Please correct me if I wrongly understood your question.

If you want to not see a kind of auto-hierarchy structure, try something similar to the below picture.
