Merge cells

Hello All,

I have a source from pdf as below. Names/data splitted in two rows instead of in a cell( single row). The final output should be in a single row by merging first two rows as a single row ( null should go and data should add) and the third row should come as column ( with header as ' other staff' and under that ' Evan molly'. Thankful if any one could give step by step procedure of power query editor.

Hi @Rak14 ,

 

There is usually no easy way, probably because the data in your PDF is not a table.

There're two videos for your reference.
