I was able to create a pivot table via PowerPivot as shown below via the classic Pivot Table color (light blue).

Noticed that the columns consist of 'Categories', 'Actual or Budget', 'Year' and 'Month Name'

Thus, for each category (Turnover and Life Cycle), there'll be Actual and Budget, and for each Actual and Budget, there'll be each year (2015 to 2017) and months (from Jan to Dec)

My question is, how can I create a new calculated category, in this case, in this case Life Cycle/Turn (colored in green) in power pivot where it'll know to calcualte for each 'Actual or Budget', 'Year' and 'Month'?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
Do you have measures for life cycle and turn? If not, you should write them first. I don't know your data but let me guess something like this

lifecycle = sum(table[lifecycle])
turnover = sum(table[turnover])
then your new measure

= divide([lifecycle],[turnover])

I don't have measures for life cycle and turn. Those categories (Turnover and Life Cycle) are in different tables.

For clarity purposes, I would have 6 tables.
tbl2015Turnover where I have the Actuals and Budgets for Turnover from Jan-Dec of 2015
tbl2016Turnover where I have the Actuals and Budgets for Turnover from Jan-Dec of 2016
tbl2017Turnover where I have the Actuals and Budgets for Turnover from Jan-Dec of 2017

tbl2015LifeCycle where I have the Actuals and Budgets for LifeCycle from Jan-Dec of 2015
tbl2016LifeCycle where I have the Actuals and Budgets for LifeCycle from Jan-Dec of 2016
tbl2017LifeCycle where I have the Actuals and Budgets for LifeCycle from Jan-Dec of 2017

I have then a dCategory table where I create relationship to each of these tables. In this dCategory tables, I then create a measure [Amount] in order to get the amount for each respective categories, for each Actuals/Budgets, for each Year and for each month. The reason why I create this is so that I can have it appear in 1 row for the same Product ID/Name. If I didn't create it, then my 'amount' will appear diagonally down (see my other post of what i meant by 'diagonnaly down' in this link )
