    Hey Kaitra ,

     

    that should be possible.

    Mark the column [Date as month] and select pivot amd chose the score column for the values:

     

    Afterwards you should have the desired result:

     

     

    Here the full M-Code:

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8k0sSs5Q0lFyBGJTIK5QitVBiDoBsQlc1LGgKDMHqtYYiCsx1JpiiDoDsRGGuTDRSgxzDTHUwmyrUoqNBQA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Date as month" = _t, #"Company Name" = _t, Score = _t, Category = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Date as month", type text}, {"Company Name", type text}, {"Score", Int64.Type}, {"Category", type text}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[#"Date as month"]), "Date as month", "Score", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

     

    If you need any help please let me know.
    If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
