Creating multiple columns for dates

I have several buildings where i want to get the vacancy rate for the last five years. I can't seem to figure out how to get all one building on a single row. Ideally it would look like this at the end of it:

 

  201120122013201420152016
PropertyIDProperty Name12341234123412341234123
39876Bemiston Tower11.08%11.08%9.67%9.67%9.12%9.12%10.72%9.38%10.33%9.52%18.98%18.98%11.75%11.75%11.74%13.35%12.34%12.34%12.41%12.41%10.46%9.40%8.87%
42132West Park I16.79%15.68%15.68%15.68%9.71%9.71%0.00%9.71%1.62%0.00%0.00%0.00%1.74%1.74%0.00%1.08%1.08%7.05%7.05%7.05%7.05%1.08%1.08%

But when i try it looks like this:

 

PropertyIDStatDate (Year.Quarter)
398762010.4
398762011.4
398762012.4
398762013.4
398762014.4
398762015.4
398762016.4
421322010.4
421322011.4
421322012.4
421322013.4
421322014.4
421322015.4
421322016.4
427162010.4
427162011.4
427162012.4
427162013.4
427162014.4
427162015.4
427162016.4

 

I have a date column StatDate which has year, quarter, day, and month if needed. I tried creating a concatenate with that field "StatDate (Year.Quarter) = CONCATENATE('Building Data'[StatDate].[Year],CONCATENATE(".",'Building Data'[StatDate].[QuarterNo]))" in order to do a lookup - "VacancyRate2012 = LOOKUPVALUE('Building Data'[VacancyRate Stat Column],'Building Data'[StatDate (Year.Quarter)],"2012.4")" to return each quarter that i wanted, but the error i receive is "A table of multiple values was supplied where a single value was expected. 

 

Any Idea how i can do this?

What you've pasted above is a Pivot Table with 2 Row and 2 Column Items.

Can you instead paste a sample of the source tables for that Pivot Table?

PropertyID     Vacancy Rate      StatDate
39876             0.11                     1/1/2014
39876             0.09                     1/1/2015
39876             0.08                     1/1/2016
39876             0.07                      4/1/2016
39876             0.06                      7/1/2016
39876             0.08                      9/1/2016
39876             0.12                      4/1/2015

 

The database is a SQL server database. The first table i copied in there from how i was able to create it in Tableau but i'd like to do that in PowerBI.  Is this what you were asking for?
