Create a new Excel workbook and save it as Pivoting Music.xlsx.
Create a query to import the Tours worksheet from the Tour Continents.xlsx file from the folder shown a the top of this exercise.
Load the query into a table in a new worksheet.

The continent name appears multiple times for different artists and tours.
Edit the query and apply a pivot transform to create a new column for each continent name, using Count_of_shows as the aggregate column.
Close and load the changes to the query.

Each tour should now occupy a single row in the table.
Save and close the workbook.
