Multi-level/Nested table from Direct Query data

Hi, so I'm in the process of migrating some reports into PowerBI from another system, and need some help to recreate the report in PowerBI (or something close enough to it). In essence, what I want to create is like below image, where there is a multi-level/nested table (not really sure what to call it). The data is retrieved from a database View using a Direct Query and would look something like below. 

Data-example:

site_idsite_nameregioncountryservice_idproductcase_nocase_titlecase_type
12345My siteStockholmSwedenService 1Product 111111Case 1support
54321Other siteOsloNorwayService 2Product 222222Case 2support
54321Other siteOsloNorwayService 3Product 333333Case 3support
54321Other siteOsloNorwayService 3Product 344444Case 4support
...........................

Desired end-result:

As per request, here's a simple (graphically rough) result using above data. Note that the table is entirely manual to show the basic structure I'm after

Basically, a Site has at least one Service which in turn can have many Cases, so there's a couple of groupings to be done. 

Making just a simple table that looks essentially like the raw data is easy enough, but I'd like to keep the visuals of the old report as much as possible (users hate change and all that). 

I'm a complete rookie in PowerBI so I'm not really familiar with what visualizations would be applicable, and how to potentially restructure the data, so if you can point me towards some relevant docs/guides, or even provide a potential solution directly, that would be fantastic, but will take anything I can get!

Hi 

By using the data example that you have given, 
Can you create a sample output in Microsoft Excel and share a screen snap so that we can have a better understanding.

Regards,

Atma.

I've added a screenshot of the rough structure I'm after. Hopefully it makes it a bit clearer
