Selectcolumns and append in same Power Query.

I have a table like this 

GroupLimitAmericasAmericas-ValueEuropeEurope-Value
A75080202510
B100050609050

I want to transform it into

GroupLimitRegionValueActualValue
A7508020
B

1000

5060
A7502510
B10009050

I need a solution in a Power Query without creating a new table. 

Thank you so much in advance!

@Anonymous , Please use this code in blank query in power query

 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTI3NQCSFiDCCEyYAglDA6VYnWglJzDTACQMVmUGIiyh3NhYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Group = _t, Limit = _t, Americas = _t, #"Americas-Value" = _t, Europe = _t, #"Europe-Value" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Group", type text}, {"Limit", Int64.Type}, {"Americas", Int64.Type}, {"Americas-Value", Int64.Type}, {"Europe", Int64.Type}, {"Europe-Value", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Group", "Limit"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Custom", each if Text.Contains([Attribute], "Value") then "Actual Value" else "Regional value"),
    #"Extracted Text Before Delimiter" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Custom", {{"Attribute", each Text.BeforeDelimiter(_, "-"), type text}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Extracted Text Before Delimiter", List.Distinct(#"Extracted Text Before Delimiter"[Custom]), "Custom", "Value", List.Sum)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"
