0.3        5/4/2016      A                                    0.3          5/4/2016        A
0.53      5/4/2016      B                                    0.53        5/4/2016        B
             5/4/2016     Base                                0.17        5/4/2016       Base

Spend     ReportDate   ProductTitle                 Spend     ReportDate      ProductTitle
0.3          5/4/2016      A                                 0.3          5/4/2016         A

0.38        6/5/2016    B                                   0.38        6/5/2016        B

Here are the detailed steps for achieving this. I am asuming that your Product title has same pattren.

 

I have used below sample data in excel

Connected with Excel and edit the query

After this remove the two steps from right area "Chagne Type" and Promoted Headers". It will bring your column hearders as data row. Now remove first row by going to Home Table and clicking Remove Rows button. You need to mention 1 as number of rows to be deleted.

 

Now your data set will look like this.

Now select Column3 and click on Pivot Column button under Transformations Tab

 

step4.png

select Column1 as Value column in popup and click Ok. It will pivot your data to a new format as below

 

step5.png

Now remove the Base Column and Add new Column Base with Below Formula

You base value has been calculated. See below for reference
