Thanks for the replies from Ashish_Mathur and KNP.
Hi @redomer44 ,
Please follow these steps in Power Query Editor:
1.Duplicate table.
2.Delete the unwanted rows for both tables.
3.Create two new tables:
4.Moving on to similar operations for Table and Table(2), we'll use Table as an example.
5.Expand and fill the field:
6.Filter out the required data.
7.Rename columns.
8.Append two tables:
Result:
Best Regards,

If there is any post helps, then please consider Accept it as the solution to help the other members find it more quickly.
You could try something like this...
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUXICYmcgdgFiV6VYnWil4Pzc1JKMzLx0oAgCgWQMgQwjIDYGYhMgNlWKjQUA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t, Column5 = _t]),
headers = Table.FirstN(Source,1),
remove = Table.Skip(Source,2),
combine = Table.Combine({headers, remove}),
promote = Table.PromoteHeaders(combine)
in
promote
Paste it into the advanced editor of a blank query to see what it's doing.
