I have this table and i need to represent it in a matrix format so we have materials and components columns worth millions of rows and i need the material hours abd the comp hours to show based on the distinct materials , so for this material for the material order i should get a total of 45 and for th component a total of 0.01037
How do i achieve this in a matrix table .

 

Thanks
