    Hi patyk

    If your purpose for pivoting table is just to show a visual like your screenshot, you could use the Matrix chart.

    Before add columns to the Field of Matrix, you need to sort the "date" column by ascending, then change the date format to "MMMM yyyy".

     

    If you need to pivot the table to change its structure, you could go to Edit queries

    1. sort the date column

    2.select "date" column, "pivot column"

    3.replace values

    replace "null" with 0

Sorry I can't really use matrix because when exporting to Excell it does not export in pivot format.  Needs to export to excell in the exact view?

 

Thanks

Hi patyk

For your requirement, you could consider my sencond method, this would change the table structure, then you just add these columns to a Table visual, then you could export it to excel with the structure as you expected.
