Transforming data

Hi - still fairly new to Power Bi.

 

My organisation produces a monthly report in Excel that lists any relevant staffing changes that impacts an individual - there are many types of changes listed including when an individual joins, leaves, changes working hours, team etc.

 

The format of the spreadsheet is to list each individual per row then details of their previous (last month) data and the current month data the attached screenshot gives a basic overview of this with the top table indicating how the data is currently laid out, with the second table being how (I feel) it should be laid out in Power Bi.

 

My intention is to append each month's transformed report to create a data set for all changes to add to with each new montly report. The outputs will be to calculate movements in/out/within my organisation across these different attributes.

 

Would this be an appropriate way to transofrm the data or should it remain in its current format - if so how do I do it - I have tried to unpivot columns but does not appear to have the desired affect.
