Table formatting

Good Evening! I'm a new member but love Power BI! I'm hoping that someone can help me with a problem that I ran into. A simple fix that I can't seem to find is how to take a table that is situated vertically and transpose it horizontally. I'm not looking to take the tabular data and transpose it and bring it into the power bi desktop but actually take a table with fields setup to be displayed horizontally. I have not found where disability exist so far. If it does not exist then I'm on to the next question of how to build a measure that will provide me with the top three customers for sales during the year. (I've been trying the TOPN Filtering method bot can not seem to make it into what I need.) If not, I will also have to build two other functions with a filter inside of the measure. The second one will have to exclude the top customer and sales for the year and the third function would have to exclude the talk to customers in sales for the year. Tell only been working in power bi for a few months but I'm hoping someone has a solution for me.

I found a work around solution.  If I change from a Table to a Matrix Visualization, I can take the Customer Value and move it from the ROWS designation to the COLUMN designation and it gives me the horizontal format. -- Just wish I would have found it earlier but late is better than never.

Hi again.  Before I go into a more complicated and in depth way of trying to solve the problem through coding I would like to see if there is a formatting solution.  Is there any way to change a table visual from being setup with a vertical alighnment to a horizontal setup?  As in I don't want the header in Cell A1 and the Data from Cell A2 through A4, I want to display the header in Cell A1 and the data in Cell B1, C1 and D1--- if you are looking at it from a grid perspective.  I have searched and do not see any visuals that display the data horizontally and in a table format.  Do any exist or do you know of how to chage a table visual to a horizontal display?
