Ok Anonymous . I got "Attribute" column too but I removed it (I forgot to mention this last step, sorry about that)

I assume you have reached this point without error, isn't it?

No luck!! 😞 Will it not work if there are rows with "null" values?? 

I am able to split the columns based on delimiter but unable to unpivot and get the desired output...

    Can you share an example of how is your data before unpivot? Paste here some table with the values you have please. (change names by "AAA" or something like this to keep your data confidential). Because it is weird. Null values doesn't affect in this case

        Hi Anonymous 
        And at this point, if you select the four columns and click on unpivot it gives you error for all rows?
