  You can use something like this

  WITH CTE AS(

  SELECT Product,

  SUM( CASE WHEN Category = 'Something' THEN Value ELSE 0 END) AS Total1,

  SUM( CASE WHEN Category = 'Something Else' THEN Value ELSE 0 END) AS Total2

  FROM YourTable

  WHERE Category IN('Something', 'Something Else')

  GROUP BY Product

  )

  SELECT *

  FROM CTE;

  That's just the basic structure, which you have to understand to be able to complete your requirements.
