Pivoting Multiple Rows into Columns

[RAdams]

I have some payroll data in the below format for punching in and punching out. 

I would like to pivot/unpivot into the below format. I'm confused with the method of pivoting I need to use to convert. I've been working on this for a couple hours but I know I'm missing something. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

Hi,

This M code works

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Data"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Payroll Name", type text}, {"File Number", Int64.Type}, {"Pay Date", type datetime}, {"Time In", type number}, {"Time Out", type number}, {"Hours", type number}, {"Earnings Code", type any}, {"Dept", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"ID", "Payroll Name", "File Number", "Pay Date"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Inserted Merged Column" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Other Columns", "Merged", each Text.Combine({Text.From([File Number], "en-IN"), Text.From([Pay Date], "en-IN"), [Attribute]}, ""), type text),
    Partition = Table.Group(#"Inserted Merged Column", {"Merged"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index",1,1), type table}}),
    #"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"ID", "Payroll Name", "File Number", "Pay Date", "Attribute", "Value", "Index"}, {"ID", "Payroll Name", "File Number", "Pay Date", "Attribute", "Value", "Index"}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded Partition",{"Merged"}),
    #"Inserted Merged Column1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Columns", "Merged", each Text.Combine({[Attribute], Text.From([Index], "en-IN")}, " "), type text),
    #"Removed Columns1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Inserted Merged Column1",{"Attribute", "Index", "ID"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Removed Columns1", List.Distinct(#"Removed Columns1"[Merged]), "Merged", "Value"),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Payroll Name", "File Number", "Pay Date", "Time In 1", "Time Out 1", "Hours 1", "Dept 1", "Time In 2", "Time Out 2", "Hours 2", "Dept 2"}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Reordered Columns",{{"Time In 1", type time}, {"Time Out 1", type time}, {"Hours 1", type number}, {"Time In 2", type time}, {"Time Out 2", type time}, {"Hours 2", type number}})
in
    #"Changed Type1"

Hope this helps.
