Please help with correct table for this hierarchy

Hello. I'm kinda new to PowerBI, though watched ~90 vids. 

I want to create a drilling down pie chart. Table is attached.powerbi.jpg

 

So this is a couple of trucks (Type) which can work or do nothing (delay). 

Loading and Hauling extends Work; Repair and Dinner extends Delay. 

I want to see total distribution of Work hours and Delay hours, then pressing on Work I want to see what kind of work takes more time and then pressing on Hauling I want to see info on each Truck type. 

First, how do I sum up work hours and delay hours? If I put its column in Values then it can only Count it. 

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi @karimkz,

 

In your scenario, you need to transform data in Query Editor firstly. Please select loading, hauling,repair and dinner columns then click Unpivot Columns button, then get format like below:

Go to the report, create a pie chart visual like below:

Drill down feature can't change chart type, so when press hauling slice, it will also use pit chart visual to display cat and hitachi values. Please check attached .pbix file.
