Fun one!! Needed only a few tools to accomplish, and I left the county names in. Dynamic tools are wonderful

I began by creating the titles from the "Fields" input, which is a combination of the Category, Subcategory and Description, I then used Dynamic Rename to take the new column from the Fields input and replace the Name column from the data. I then used Dynamic Select to to remove the non-title fields.

Here's my solution.  Not sure why the posted solution doesn't include a location field (seems important!) so I've kept that in.

Created a long workflow only to realize that crosstab alphabetizes columns and then realized that a dynamic rename and select make it pretty simple.

Definitely not the best. Looks like everyone nailed it with a dynamic select. Solution attached.
