Format date of column headers after pivoting

I have a table with country, date, and a value column. I want to pivot the date column so that I can see the value progressing over each day (each row in the table is a Monday of the week).   ...

    Hello freelensia 

     

    column headers have to be unique. So why not using weeks instead of months? Here an example

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("TczBDcAgDEPRXXxGyEkoPXeH3lD2XwNQq4Sb9WT9MfC8KKBWWlWuKfDyq/RQTVULtVRjaEvlKrRPr6NrW2VrP7qM7w33CQ==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Country = _t, Date = _t, Value = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Country", type text}, {"Date", type date}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}, "de-DE"),
        #"Calculated Week of Year" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{{"Date", each Text.From(Date.WeekOfYear(_))&"/"&Text.From(Date.Year(_)), type text}}),
        #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Calculated Week of Year", List.Distinct(#"Calculated Week of Year"[Date]), "Date", "Value", List.Sum)
    in
        #"Pivoted Column"
