Combining data from two columns (origin and destination) into graph

Hi, just started in this space.  I've been a fan of pivot, power query, power pivot.  In my limited experience, i haven't been able to work around this problem.    

 

I have a huge table that tracks the number of shipments that went from one origin to one destination.  In order to track the number of shipments to, say, SYD,  I have to pivot first by Origin to get total number of shipments to SYD, and then i do the same pivot for Destination to get the number, and then sum up. 

 

With powerBI, i hope i do not have to pivot out two tables to sum up.  Please see my sample table in the link below

Sample table

 

I will be grateful if anyone can help me with this. 

 

 

Sincerely,

Patrick

Hi Amy, thanks.  I realised I have made a mistake in the outcome of my sample table.  If possible, can you take a look at it again?  https://1drv.ms/x/s!ApSB4boI7YlPiEPRH25yRJa1Fyw_

 

My table is quite huge, and so where possible, i hope to be able to visualise the data in graphs as well.  If matrix is possible for the updated outcome in the link above, i will appreciate your advice. 

 

Many thanks!

 

Sincerely,

PGAT
