    Use the Unpivot transform.

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8srPyDu0QElHydDAAEwbQWljMB2rE63kk1mcCBYyhUqZQWlziJJYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Name " = _t, #"Jan " = _t, #"Feb " = _t, #"March " = _t]),
        #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Source, {"Name "}, "Date", "Amount")
    in
        #"Unpivoted Other Columns"

    How to use this code: Create a new Blank Query, then click on "Advanced Editor", and then replace the code in the window with the code provided here. Then click "Done".
