Pivot DAX Column or Help with Matrix

Hi,

 

I have a table of Leads that basically has this structure:

CategoryCompany
ACom1
ACom1
BCom2
ACom5
BCom1
CCom2
CCom4
ACom3
BCom1

My actual table is much more complicated and the Category column is a DAX calculated column.

I need to be able to make a visual, either a table or a matrix, that looks like this:

ABC
Com1Com2Com2
Com1Com1Com4
Com5Com1 
Com3  

So you can see each catgory along the top and a list of companies below that fall into each one. I tried setting up a matrix to do this, but couldn't get it to work. 

I also wanted to unpivot to make this work, but the DAX calculated column can't be manipulted in Power Query. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

@Anonymous ,

 

What I can come out is to create three calculate tables like pattern below and create three table visuals though the duplicate values will be removed.

NewTableA = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] = "A"), "A", 'Table'[Company])   

NewTableB = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] = "B"), "B", 'Table'[Company])     

NewTableC = SELECTCOLUMNS(FILTER('Table', 'Table'[Category] = "C"), "C", 'Table'[Company])

@Anonymous in matrix visual, put the category on columns and company on values, and you will get the same output.

hi @parry2k 

 

Thank you for the help!

 

Unfortunately if you put a company name on values then you have to pick a summary, like First. I need them to show up as a list of companies under each category.
