For XML as PIVOT

Question

Thanks for reading.
I need to export data via SQL to XML. But I need the XML format in Row/column and the output must be a Pivot table. I know that it can be done with AS pivot. But I don't know how to use it in the below script
I've already got a fantastic script with the outcome in Row/Column format, but the output must be in pivot
use Cluster_Data_Mart_NEW
;With CTE
AS
SELECT [Cluster_Name]
,[Cell_Name]
,[Client_Name]
,[Assigned]
FROM CDM_Fact_Personnel_Assigned
INNER JOIN CDM_Dim_Organization on
CDM_Fact_Personnel_Assigned.Organization_Key =
CDM_Dim_Organization.Organization_Key
INNER JOIN CDM_Dim_Client on CDM_Fact_Personnel_Assigned.Client_Key =
CDM_Dim_Client.Client_Key
select
select [Cluster_Name] AS [@name],
(select [Cell_Name] as [column],
null as tmp,
Client_Name as [column],
null as tmp,
Assigned as [column]
from CTE
where [Cluster_Name] = t.[Cluster_Name]
for xml path('row'),type) as [*]
from (select distinct [Cluster_Name] from CTE)t
for xml path('variable'),root('data')
) as col_xml
the above query needs to be in the same XML format(Row/Clolumn) but then in a Pivot table structure.
The desired outcome:
..............CellA...CellB
companyA..4.......3
companyB..0.......4
companyC..1.......2
(whithout the ..............)
The desired outcome in XML:
<data>
<variable name="Cluster_Name">
<row>
<column></column>
<column>CellA</column>
<column>CellB</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>companyA</column>
<column>4</column>
<column>3</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>companyB</column>
<column>0</column>
<column>4</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>companyC</column>
<column>1</column>
<column>2</column>
</row>
</variable>
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Russ,
I
get no error message anymore :) Only is the output not yet as desired.
<data>
  <variable name="Cluster_Name">
    <row>
      <column />
      <column>CellA</column>
      <column>CellB</column>
    </row>
    <row>
      <column>Company1</column>
      <column>CellA</column>
      <column>CellB</column>
    </row>
    <row>
      <column>Company2</column>
      <column>CellA</column>
      <column>CellB</column>
    </row>
The desired is the second and third rows need to be the value of the column "Assigned" Like:
<data>
<variable name="Cluster_Name">
<row>
<column></column>
<column>CellA</column>
<column>CellB</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>companyA</column>
<column>4</column>
<column>3</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>companyB</column>
<column>0</column>
<column>4</column>
</row>
<row>
<column>companyC</column>
<column>1</column>
<column>2</column>
Table1: CDM_Fact_Personnel_AssignedColumn1: [Assigned]                   -> its a number like: 2,3,4,6Table2: CDM_Dim_OrganizationColumn1: [Cluster_Name]               Column2: [Cell_Name]                  -> CellA, CellB
Table3: CDM_Dim_Client Column1: [Client_Name]                -> CompannyA, CompannyB
Thanks in advance
