Creating a column on table that contains only certain values based on another column on that table

Hi 

 

I am new to this so I may be asking a very basic question:

 

I have a tbale that has the following columns:

 

Name, Category and Value

 

In the report I am trying to create I want to have the Names as rows and the Categories as columns.

How do I do this?

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi PhilipWebb ,

     

    Try using a matrix.

      Thanks Harsh

       

      I tried that and I get too many columns

      I think what I want is to create an extra columns that only contains one category:

      For example

       

      Name, Salary Category(filtered by category 1), Bonus Category (Filtered by Category 2)

       

      Not sure if what I am trying to do impossible

        Hi PhilipWebb ,

         

        I think you want to filter your table by categories.

         

        Create a slicer.

         

         

         

        In the fields Value you can drag the category Column.

         

        You will then be able to filter your table by categories.

         

        If not, pls share sample data and your expected output.
