Hello @nganbla ,
You can refer to the following documentation to clean up your data in Excel or with Power Query.
10 super nice ways to clean up data in Excel spreadsheets
Importing and cleaning data with Power Query
If you still don't know how to deal with this cluttered data after reviewing the above documentation, provide some sample data and the desired result with examples(exclude sensitive data). It seems that you want to group the data by category, is there any logic or conditions that must be met? If yes, please provide related details. Thank you.
Best regards
Rena
