Transpose column without using Pivot Table

I am trying to create a report that needs to look a certain way that I am having a hard time wrapping my head around how to do. The following tables show the current state of the data and the desired outcome. The date columns are populated with data but will only be used as slicers in the final report. I have tried created a new cacluated table and manually creating each columns but got stuck trying to get the data to populate to the coresponding row.

 

Current Data State:

 

Member_LoginHours_ActualTypeDate_StartDate_EndDate_Entered
PersonA1Managed Services - Reactive   
PersonA0.5Managed Services - Proactive   
PersonA4Internal Paperwork   
PersonB1.3Internal Managed Services   
PersonB3Internal Meeting   
PersonC0.25Managed Services - Proactive   
PersonC6Managed Services - Reactive   
PersonC2Internal Technical   
PersonC1Internal Meeting   
PersonD1Managed Services - Proactive   
PersonD1Managed Services - Reactive   

 

Desired Outcome:

 

Member_LoginManaged Services - ReactiveManaged Services - ProactiveInternal PaperworkInternal TechnicalInternal MeetingInternal Managed ServicesTotal
PersonA10.540005.5
PersonB000031.34.3
PersonC60.2502109.25

Hi @slounsbury ,

 

you could pivot your data with Power Query.

@mwegener  This is the desired outcome of the look however I should have mentioned that the reason I am not wanting to use a pivot table is so that when the data is exported to a Excel sheet it appears the same. When you export data from a pivot table it just shows the raw data which would be fine if it were in the correct format.
