Merge Multiple rows in one row

My data source is excel.

 

Once loaded in power BI I want to do this . The data is now like this:

 

NameTypeDeptSegmentPeriodYearAmountCountryCost TypeBudget'17Cost'17Budget'18Cost'18
APenHRMain2017012017352NetherlandsBudget'17352000
APenHRMain2017012017252NetherlandsCost'17025200
APenHRMain20180120181000NetherlandsBudget'180010000
APenHRMain2018012018950NetherlandsCost'18000950

 

But we want to convert the data like this:

NameTypeDeptSegmentPeriodYearCountryBudgetCostBudget last yearCost Last year
APenHRMain2017012017Netherlands35225200
APenHRMain2018012018Netherlands1000950352252

Try this

This works with your sample data

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUQpIzQOSHkFAwjcxE8Q2MjA0NzCEMoCUsakRkPRLLclILcpJzEspBvKcSlPSU0tiSg0MjMyRFBnAcawOscYbYTHeOb8Y2XADuDIiDLeAGW4BpAwNDAzwO94CydlQ1aRYYGmKaT6S65FNN4Aqj40FAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Name = _t, Type = _t, Dept = _t, Segment = _t, Period = _t, Year = _t, Amount = _t, Country = _t, #"Cost Type" = _t, #"Budget'17" = _t, #"Cost'17" = _t, #"Budget'18" = _t, #"Cost'18" = _t]),
