With help from MarcelBeug, this code will perfectly solve your probelm - there will no longer be a limitation of upto 10 columns
let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content], #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"WO", type text}, {"Date_Received", type datetime}, {"ProcessDate1", type datetime}, {"Value1", Int64.Type}, {"ProcessDate2", type datetime}, {"Value2", Int64.Type}, {"ProcessDate3", type datetime}, {"Value3", Int64.Type}, {"ProcessDate4", type datetime}, {"Value4", Int64.Type}}), #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"WO", "Date_Received"}, "Attribute", "Value"), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Other Columns", "Custom", each Text.Combine(Text.SplitAny([Attribute],"0123456789"))), #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom.1", each Text.End([Attribute],Text.Length([Attribute])-Text.Length([Custom]))), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom1",{"Attribute"}), #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns"[Custom]), "Custom", "Value"), #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Custom.1"}) in #"Removed Columns1"Hope this helps.

Thanks Ashish, this worked perfectly without having to split up the data file into 3 speperate queries and then merging the results back together (which also worked perfectly)
