Problems modelling Excelfile for use in PBI

OK, here is how I would go about it. It is a different method to yours though...
1) Unpivot the data on import: select the period and date columns and under unpivot choose "unpivot other columns"
2) Add a conditional column to create a new column classifying categories as right or wrong:
and
Your Fact table should now look like this (I´ve actually deleted the period column you had, since I always include it in my calendar table):
3) Create a Calendar Table
4) I've also created a Category Table by referencing from the fact table, deleting all columns except the Category and Right or Wrong Columns, and deleted duplicate values. The table looks like this:
5) Load all into the model and create the relevant relationships between tables. The model should resemble this:
6) Create any measures you need for the pie chart; I've just made a simple sum of values.
7) Create your pie chart using the "Right or Wrong" and "Category" fields from your Category Table as your legend and your measure as values:
You can now drill down/up etc on your pie chart (by right-clicking on a segment or using the drill-triggers on the chart):
and once you have "drilled-down":
