SQL Pivot with Month and Year - sql

Question

I'm trying to sort some shipment data using a SQL Pivot but i can not figure it out.
I've the data sorted in this way (one row with the total items shipped for a family for each month of each year starting from 2015 to ):
TABLE A
Year | Month | ItemFamilyCode | TotalShipped
2018 | 9 | FA01 | 5
2018 | 9 | FA04 | 4
2018 | 10 | FA01 | 2
2018 | 11 | FA02 | 1
2018 | 12 | FA03 | 3
2019 | 1 | FA04 | 7
and so on. I want to achieve the following result:
ItemFamilyCode | 2018-9 | 2018-10 | 2018-11 | 2018-12 | 2019-1 | [..]
FA01 | 5 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
FA02 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
FA03 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 0 |
FA04 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 7 |
and so on ... the family code in order and all the values for each month of each year, from the older month/year to now. Is it possible? Thanks to anyone who can help.

If you want to use it as view :
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT
Concat([Year],'-', [Month]) as [Date],
ItemFamilyCode,
TotalShipped
FROM Shipping -- Or any Table Name
) t
PIVOT(
Sum(TotalShipped)
FOR [Date] IN (
[2018-9],
[2018-10],
[2018-11],
[2018-12],
[2019-1],
[2019-2] -- You have to type all months until today
)
) AS pivot_table;
And, dynamic sql if you can use it in stored procedure :
Make a table with the content of date list to generate date list string
DECLARE
#columns NVARCHAR(MAX) = '',
#sql NVARCHAR(MAX) = '';
-- select the category names
SELECT
#columns+=QUOTENAME(Date) + ','
FROM
DateList
ORDER BY
DateList;
-- remove the last comma
SET #columns = LEFT(#columns, LEN(#columns) - 1);
-- construct dynamic SQL
SET #sql ='
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT
Concat([Year],'-', [Month]) as [Date],
ItemFamilyCode,
TotalShipped
FROM Shipping -- Or any Table Name
) t
PIVOT(
Sum(TotalShipped)
FOR [Date] IN ('+ #columns +')
) AS pivot_table;';
-- execute the dynamic SQL
EXECUTE sp_executesql #sql;
