PivotTable to forecast by date - excel

Question

I trying to get this forecast by date into a PivotTable so I can drill down the info for a CSV import. The pivot wizard recognises my data all wrong.
How can I get SKU codes as ROWS, all the dates dynamic to additions as COLUMNS and the forecast values as VALUES?
Excel Data
Failure
I want the Pivot to mirror what I have, so I can drill the data down to the format
SKU, Date, Qty
SKU, Date, Qty
SKU, Date, Qty
SKU, Date, Qty
If there is an alternative but easier route that would be great.

I think the problem you got is how you are storing your original data. Right now you are doing something like this:
And to make the Pivot Table work properly, you need tabular design like this:
Notice that same SKU code can appear more than once, but at different dates (row 12 and 19, row 13 and 20, and so on).
With this tabular design, then you can do a Pivot Table like you want:
So you need to transpose the data. I've used some formulas that may help you out a little bit. If you got a lot of data,then I strongly suggest you to use them and then paste values, or the file will be heavily overcharged, slow and so on. This is a way to do it.
First, count how many SKU codes you got (in my image, there are just 7)
Second, count how many dates you got (in my image, there are just 2)
Below original data, copy the complete group of SKU codes (7) as many times as dates (twice in my case) in the same column.
In next column (DATE field), you can use this formula: =INDEX($B$1:$C$1;1;COUNTIFS($A$12:A12;A12))
In next column (VALUE field) you can use: =INDEX($B$2:$C$8;MATCH(A12;$A$2:$A$8;0);MATCH(B12;$B$1:$C$1;0))
Just drag down and you should get a new range with data transposed properly. And that new range is a perfect source for a Pivot Table and do what you want. Paste values!
If you add new extra rows to this new range, you can just change the source of your Pivot Table, and then that new data will be instantly added to your Pivot Table with the design you want.
After checking everything is right, delete old data, of course!
I've uploaded a sample to my Gdrive in case it may help for you. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1ElEPkk5V3QkME7yLPQuGnU7-wd6fQEd_
Hope you can adapt this to your needs.

Thanks for taking the time to assist me, I managed to find a solution that I thought I'd share. This doesn't go down the PivotTable route but instead gives me the final result that I needed.
Sub NormaliseTable()
Application.Calculation = xlManual
' start with the cursor in the table
Dim rTab As Range, C As Range, rNext As Range
Set rTab = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion
If rTab.Rows.Count = 1 Or rTab.Columns.Count = 1 Then
MsgBox "Not a well-formed table!"
Exit Sub
End If
Workbooks.Add ' the sheet for the results
Set rNext = Range("A1")
For Each C In rTab.Offset(2, 1).Resize(rTab.Rows.Count - 1, _
rTab.Columns.Count - 1).Cells
If Not (IsEmpty(C.Value) Or C.Value = "0") Then
rNext.Value = rTab.Cells(C.Row - rTab.Row + 1, 1)
rNext.Offset(0, 1).Value = rTab.Cells(1, C.Column - rTab.Column + 1)
rNext.Offset(0, 2).Value = C.Value
Set rNext = rNext.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next
ChDir "\\Client\T$"
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="\\Client\T$\M3-FC-IMPORT.csv", FileFormat _
:=xlCSV, CreateBackup:=False
ActiveWorkbook.Save
ActiveWindow.Close
Application.Calculation = xlAutomatic
End Sub
Without the Application Calculation going to manual it would take hours, so I turn it off and on with the macro and its almost instantaneous!
Thanks
