Partial pivoting
paolomint - PIVOT has limits. I think this is why it isn't on the right-click menu. It can be finnicky. That said, three questions:
- Why is your value text? Shouln't that be a whole number, not text?
- Why not aggregate the values? So the table below is the result?
- Why are you pivoting in the first place? It depends on the data set, but it could be advantageous in DAX to keep these as they are.
thank you edhans
1. the message error gets out when I try to apply the procedure in my real model
2. yes, I can aggregate
3. About dax, It would be great but I don't know how to do. Can you kindly help me?
thanks in advance

Provide some good data for us to assist with paolomint as well as expected results. Show us where you want to end up, rather than asking how to do a specific thing. That thing (pivoting) may not be a good way to get to your destination.
