First, run the Billing Case Note Details report by entering the start and end date desired, selecting Professional Hours (select All if interested in seeing Travel and Mileage associated with the various activity types) in the Charge Type parameter, and Preview.

Create a pivot table from the report by going to the Insert tab and clicking the Pivot Table button:

Highlight the table without the header and the logo of the report (click on the top left column header cell - Lead VRC - and use CTRL + SHIFT + END to select the entire table), and click OK in the Create Pivot Table window.

A new sheet will open with the Pivot Table. Drag and drop the following columns into the fields:

Lead VRC into the Columns field,

Activity Type into the Rows field,

Hours and Charges into the Values field:
