    Hello

    I'm sure there's a better way, but this M code works on your sample data at least

    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Data"]}[Content],
    #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Source,{"CONT", "EXP"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged"),
    Partition = Table.Group(#"Merged Columns", {"Attribute"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index",1,1), type table}}),
    #"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"From", "To", "Merged", "Index"}, {"From", "To", "Merged", "Index"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Expanded Partition", List.Distinct(#"Expanded Partition"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Merged"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Index"}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Removed Columns", "TO_Connection_DK1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"TO_Connection_DK1.1", "TO_Connection_DK1.2"}),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"TO_Connection_DK1.1", type text}, {"TO_Connection_DK1.2", type text}}),
    #"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "FROM_Connection_DK1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"FROM_Connection_DK1.1", "FROM_Connection_DK1.2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter1",{{"FROM_Connection_DK1.1", type text}, {"FROM_Connection_DK1.2", type text}}),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Changed Type1",{"From", "To", "TO_Connection_DK1.1", "FROM_Connection_DK1.1", "TO_Connection_DK1.2", "FROM_Connection_DK1.2"})
in
    #"Reordered Columns"

    I hope this helps.

@Ashish_Mathur I already tried the code and managed to execute, but got only one problem.

The blank columns just miss match the FROM and TO as highlighted below... if we can manage to delete the blue area then our data is fixed.

here is the code

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DK1_tbl"]}[Content],

#"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Source,{"CONT", "EXP"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged"),
Partition = Table.Group(#"Merged Columns", {"Attribute"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index",1,1), type table}}),
#"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"From", "To", "Merged", "Index"}, {"From", "To", "Merged", "Index"}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Expanded Partition", List.Distinct(#"Expanded Partition"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Merged"),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Index"}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Removed Columns", "TO_Connection_DK1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"TO_Connection_DK1.1", "TO_Connection_DK1.2"}),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"TO_Connection_DK1.1", type text}, {"TO_Connection_DK1.2", type text}}),
#"Split Column by Delimiter1" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Changed Type", "FROM_Connection_DK1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"FROM_Connection_DK1.1", "FROM_Connection_DK1.2"}),
#"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter1",{{"FROM_Connection_DK1.1", type text}, {"FROM_Connection_DK1.2", type text}}) ,
#"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Changed Type1",{"From", "FROM_Connection_DK1.1", "FROM_Connection_DK1.2", "To", "TO_Connection_DK1.1", "TO_Connection_DK1.2"})
in
#"Reordered Columns"
