Hello all,
I would like to restructure the following table: (in reality more than 1k rows with different sold to partys)
| Sold to party | Period | Material | MBR Category | Value | Quantity |
| 17012097 | 4 | 1 | Sales | 100 | 2 |
| 17012097 | 4 | 1 | SRD | 20 | 0 |
| 17012097 | 4 | 1 | Cost | 30 | 0 |
| 17012097 | 5 | 2 | Sales | 200 | 3 |
| 17012097 | 6 | 2 | Sales | 300 | 4 |
The result should look like this:
| Sold to party | Period | Material | Quantity | Sales | SRD | Cost |
| 17012097 | 4 | 1 | 2 | 100 | 20 | 30 |
| 17012097 | 5 | 2 | 3 | 200 | ||
| 17012097 | 6 | 2 | 4 | 300 |
As you can see I would like to pivot the column MBR Category and summarize its values. However, when I try to do that, the resulting table still has five rows and not three rows and the SRD/Cost/Sales are not summarized in one row but still show up in different rows.
Do you have any idea, how I could solve this?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards

Hello both,
both solutions work perfectly fine, I am currently testing everything, but topic should be solved.
Thank you very much!
