Separate data in a same column into new own columns

Firstly, sorry that I am not too sure what is the proper way to call the change of this formatting.

 

Can anyone guide on how could I do so in Power BI.

 

Thanks.

@Anonymous Maybe:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8krM0zUyVNJRcgRip8SkSiAVnJiTWgykDQ0MlGJ1sKtxL8ovLlbwTSxKz8wDco2BKmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Month = _t, Store = _t, Department = _t, Type = _t, Figure = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Month", type date}, {"Store", type text}, {"Department", type text}, {"Type", type text}, {"Figure", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Type]), "Type", "Figure", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
