Hey @Ron_ald ,

 

inside Power BI Desktop use the Matrix visual.

Drag the commodity column to the rows well, the type column to the columns well.

Drag the Sales column to the values well.

Here is a screenshot, of the Matrix visual, with colors on rows, countries on columns and quantity as value:

Hopefully, this will provide what you are looking for.

You can use a matrix visual to get the equivalent of an Excel Pivot table.
