Just started learning the ropes with excel.

I have some data that I pull from an SQL database and it looks like the following:

I'd like to use that data in a seperate sheet in a table with the following headers:

Date and TimeRFID #Product MasterDescriptionWaste Trim Height

As you can possibly see, I'd like the use the Date/Time as an identifier that groups the information, but I'm not sure where to go with this, what functions to use.

The 'Product Master' and 'Description' columns I will be using a VLOOKUP to another sheet, they can be ignored for this case.

I'm not looking for anyone to write me a full answer, just a point in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"

    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Changed Type", List.Distinct(#"Changed Type"[Tag]), "Tag", "Val", List.Sum)

    #"Pivoted Column"
