I want to build visuals based on its pivot table (Excel concept), like:

What would be the convenient way in Power BI, that I can produce PivotTable alike from the imported data, and save it as a data table, before starting to build visuals?

Hi  @JohnnyK  ,

1. When Table1 is the original table, open power query and copy Table1 to form Table2

2. According to your own needs, in Transform, look for Pivot Column for Pivot to form a pivot table Table2

3. Select Close&Aply to visualize in Power BI Desktop

@amitchandakthank you for your reply. Sorry for not asked the question in full - I meant, then how I can save the pitvot table as a data table, and use the saved pitvot table (as a data table) for visualization.

@JohnnyK , In power Query you have option to pivot the table

Hope that can help. You might have to change aggregation if needed. 

Once pivot is create, right click on table and open the Adnace editor, and check for List.Max or List.count or Table.Max or Table.Count and change that to .Sum or .Count if needed

@JohnnyK , You can create table or matrix visual with sum and count of columns.

You can give default summarization in columns tools, if needed or right-click on the column in the visual pane and choose summarization
