Change rows to columns
Anonymous - Take a look at my file link again, second tab. I created 1 measure that is a simple SUM forumula. I then put it in a Matrix, and put the line number in the columns, everything else in rows, and got rid of the subtotals, except for the Transction line, which I thought might be useful, but you can get rid of that too. Then expanded all row descriptions and removed the stepped layout default.
That will automatically expand for every line item, so if a transaction comes in with 6 line items, you'll have 6 columns of data.
You could put the product names in the columns, but you have 13 unique products, so that becomes a very wide table to show all 13, and I suspect your real data has even more actual products.
You could combine this process with the measure MFelix provided if you don't want actual quantities but the concatenation of the product name and total in the Values part. I did a rough version of that on tab 3.
You can pre-expand the entire matrix so your users don't have to, and remove the +/- expansion buttons if desired, also shown on tab 3
