You can see the Steps from Query Editor in attached file
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ColumnX1 ", type text}, {"ColumnX2 ", type text}, {"ColumnX3 ", type text}, {"ColumnY1", type text}, {"ColumnY2", type text}, {"ColumnY3", type text}}),
#"Demoted Headers" = Table.DemoteHeaders(#"Changed Type"),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Demoted Headers",{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}, {"Column6", type text}}),
#"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Changed Type1"),
#"Extracted First Characters" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Transposed Table", {{"Column1", each Text.Start(_, 7), type text}}),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Extracted First Characters", {"Column1"}, {{"all", each _[Column2], type list}}),
#"Extracted Values" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Grouped Rows", {"all", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), ","), type text}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Extracted Values", "all", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"all.1", "all.2", "all.3"}),
#"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"all.1", type text}, {"all.2", type text}, {"all.3", type text}})
in
#"Changed Type2"
