Separating Monthly Results in Data for Same Item?

Hey all, I’ve got a dataset that I’m having some trouble separating for calculating properly on a pivot table. It is a list of items in Column A, which all belong to a group in Column B, and then C D and E are results for Q1 so Jan, Feb, and March. the problem is that we have a budget figure, a forecast figure, two new forecast figures and the actual figure for each item, that are stacked in the column. so for the first item there are five rows of data that I would like to compare for each month. I just can’t figure out how to do this in a pivot table because the forecast/new forecast/budget/actuals aren’t column headers.

I tried adding new columns that totaled up the rows for each category of forecast/actual etc but the results were far more than the real actuals so something failed there.

Thanks!
