Guys, here's my issue....

I have this data grid that I need to pivot it. Simple.

The problem is that the dates comes across (toward the right) of my main columns.
Usually, I'd rearrange my data in a vertical rather horizontal direction BUT It cannot be moved as per client's request. Well, also because the client needs a Timeline slicer on top of the graphics.

I've been told that a PowerPivot or a PivotQuery reshaping could do it but it's beyond my knowledge.

So, how can I? How would you do it?

Thank you

2. To make sure we are not guessing at what you want, please mock up your solution so we can see what you need exactly as your explanation is not clear to me.

You're absolutely right!

I couldn't install XL2BB as I have no admin rights in this computer. However I have written the data as I have it in the File.
As you can see here, the Columns with Data comes across my categories (first 2 columns), but I need to pivot it (like the picture) so it can be manipulated as vertical data.

You did not supply us with your expected results so I am only guessing. Is this what you want your data to look like?

If so, then unpivot the data with Power Query

Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Make", "Style"}, "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns"

Thank you Alan!
I thought I uploaded a Picture.
But yes, that's exactly what I need my data to look like.
I'm trying it RN.
