You need to use Crosstable load - it's part of the "Text Files" load wizard. You will have 2 qualifying fields - Category and Product.

Hi,

When you load the Excel file using table wizard and press next then you can see the transform button . Press next again and you can see the CrossTable button on th top right corner.
