Fix spreadsheet structure (title, headers, items, blank - repeat)

Hello to everyone,

 

I'm trying to work with an exported excel spreadsheet which has the following (bad) structure. Unfortunately is system export, so I can't change it automatically. Manual fix would be too much.

 

Part Number1 (10 digits: 9 numbers, 1 text, e.g. 123456789A)nullnullnullnull
Pos.titlequantity......
1    
2    
..    
N (variable!)    
nullnullnullnullnull
Part Number2    
Pos.titlequantity......
1    
2    
..    
N (different from the table before)    
nullnullnullnullnull
Part Number3    
....    

 

 

What I tried so far:

I can't split by fixed number of rows, as it isn't fixed.

 

By importing with suggested tables I can split properly, but can't get the Part Number out of it and this is a problem as I lose the most important info.

 

A perfect solution would be to recreate the pivot, with part number as 1st column. I tried adding new column from example, but it doesn't find correlations as I expect and I'm stuck.

 

Thanks in advance for support!
