Building a Nested/Tree Structure Dashboard Model

Hello,

 

PowerBI Newbie here ... I would like to create a tree like structured model to show a high level count of Groups, then the ability to click the item to see a roll down of count broken into sub-items.  The interface would be able to "open" and "close" the item list.  Is this possible?  Below is my desired visual followed by my sample code.

 

Fruit10
Apple5
Banana3
Orange2
Veggie9
Carrot5
Cucumber4
Dairy10
Eggs5
Milk5

 

Here is my sample code:

 

-- ==================================================================
-- Groups
-- ==================================================================
-- DROP TABLE #Groups
CREATE TABLE #Groups (GID int, GroupName varchar(25))
INSERT INTO #Groups VALUES (1, 'Fruit')
INSERT INTO #Groups VALUES (2, 'Veggie')
INSERT INTO #Groups VALUES (3, 'Dairy')
-- SELECT * FROM #Groups

-- ==================================================================
-- Items
-- ==================================================================
-- DROP TABLE #Items
CREATE TABLE #Items (IID int IDENTITY(1,1), ItemName varchar(25), ItemCnt int, GID int)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Apple' , 5,1)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Banana' , 3,1)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Orange' , 2,1)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Carrot' , 5,2)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Cucumber', 4, 2)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Eggs' , 5,3)
INSERT INTO #Items VALUES ('Milk' , 5,3)
-- SELECT * FROM #Items

 

Many thanks in advance!
