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_Login | Hours_Actual | Type | Date_Start | Date_End | Date_Entered |
PersonA | 1 | Managed Services - Reactive | |||
PersonA | 0.5 | Managed Services - Proactive | |||
PersonA | 4 | Internal Paperwork | |||
PersonB | 1.3 | Internal Managed Services | |||
PersonB | 3 | Internal Meeting | |||
PersonC | 0.25 | Managed Services - Proactive | |||
PersonC | 6 | Managed Services - Reactive | |||
PersonC | 2 | Internal Technical | |||
PersonC | 1 | Internal Meeting | |||
PersonD | 1 | Managed Services - Proactive | |||
PersonD | 1 | Managed Services - Reactive |
Desired Outcome:
Member_Login | Managed Services - Reactive | Managed Services - Proactive | Internal Paperwork | Internal Technical | Internal Meeting | Internal Managed Services | Total |
PersonA | 1 | 0.5 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5.5 |
PersonB | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1.3 | 4.3 |
PersonC | 6 | 0.25 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 9.25 |
PersonD | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |

Hi @slounsbury ,

@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.
