Transpose and Unpivot

I have a table that looks like the following:

 

Date---------Project----Role----Resource----Value

1/1/2020----1----------1--------R1-----------0

1/2/2020----1----------1--------R1-----------1

1/1/2020----1----------1--------R2-----------2

1/2/2020----1----------1--------R2-----------3

 

I need it to look like this:

 

Date---------Project----Role----R1----R2

1/1/2020----1----------1--------0-----2

1/2/2020----1----------1--------1-----3

 

Can anyone help me, please?

You should consider keeping your data unpivoted, but here is how you do this.  In the query editor, highlight/select the Resource column and choose Pivot Column on the transform tab.  Choose the Value column for values and choose "Don't Aggregate".

@mahoneypat , thank you. I am still very new to this. 

@Anonymous Another option is to use a Matrix visualization, put Date, Project, Role in Rows, put Resource in Columns and Value in Value. Then adjust the formatting options for the matrix (for example drill all the way down and turn stepped layout off).
This follows @mahoneypat 's suggestion to keep your data unpivoted.

Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.
