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.

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