Grouping Columns in Pivot Table - Qlik Sense

In Qlik Sense using a pivot table, how can I add a row header for measures. For example, Tires, Tire Fix need to be grouped as Wheel Shop. Engine Work, Oil, Transmission need to be grouped as Engine Shop. Dent, Scratch as auto body. How can I group them in the Pivot table? The data loaded into Qlik Sense looks exactly as shown below.

Max Auto4406787
Jim's Auto56020804
Tim's Engine Works46455210
Sam's Full Service055361220

 

I have seen recommendations to create an inline table with the field names the placement is not working so I'm at a loss.

Use a crosstable to unpivot the data as below:

AutoData:
CROSSTABLE ([Service],[Amount],1)
LOAD * INLINE
[
Autoshop,Tires,Tire Fix,Engine Work,Oil Change,Transmission,Dent,Scratch
Max Auto,4,4,0,6,7,8,7
Jim's Auto,5,6,0,20,8,0,4
Tim's Engine Works,4,6,4,55,2,1,0
Sam's Full Service,0,5,5,36,12,2,0
](delimiter is ',');

[Groups]:
LOAD * INLINE
[
Service,Group
Tires,Wheel Shop
Tire Fix,Wheel Shop
Engine Work,Engine Shop
Oil Change,Engine Shop
Transmission,Engine Shop
Dent,Auto Body
Scratch,Auto Body
](delimiter is ',');

With the addition of the inline table, how did you make the service data relate to the name of a field? This is exactly what I need but I'm missing the step between the images.

Can you show a screenshot of your data model viewer to see the name of your fields

The dataset is exactly like this with 100,000 unique locations, each with a single record.

you could do something like this, within you meassure:

if(Service='Dent',1+1,
if(Service='Scratch',1+2,
if(Service='Engine Work',1+3,
if(Service='Oil Change',1+4,
if(Service='Transmission',1+5,
if(Service='Tire Fix',1+6,
if(Service='Tires',1+7
)))))))
