Convert multiple row data into columns

I have tried and failed to use Pivot Columns in Power Query for this. Basically I need to Pivot the Category with the Outcome (not aggregated) Is there a DAX formula I can use for this. Below is as the data is in Power BI.

Hi @lennox25 ,
If you simply want the grid/table in your screen to be this way, Why not simply use Matrix visualization and put "Category" field in columns?

 

If you need the data in this structure itself, you can unpivot from Power Query Editor.
