Creating a table that is used as a slicer but derived from three other tables in the datasource

I have three tables that need to be created to be used as a slicer.

 

Essentially I need two columns from this table:

Trade and Manager

And one column from this table:

axwack_1-1598560532100.png

and one column from this table:

axwack_2-1598560675022.png

 

I'm looking to unpivot the resulting table into one table where the column metadata will be the rows and the values in the row will be the column metadata.

 

How can I create a resulting view that has this type of data. Do I have to read these as datasources and do a transform on the load?

The most important parts are:
1. Sample data as text, use the table tool in the editing bar
2. Expected output from sample data
3. Explanation in words of how to get from 1. to 2.
