    Hi,

    This M code works

    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Name", type text}, {"Name 2", type text}, {"Date", type text}, {"Detail", type text}, {"Rank 1 ", Int64.Type}, {"Rank 2", Int64.Type}, {"Rank 3", Int64.Type}, {"Category", type text}, {"Movement", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 1, 1),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Added Index", {"Index"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    Partition = Table.Group(#"Unpivoted Other Columns", {"Index"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index1",1,1), type table}}),
    #"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"Attribute", "Value", "Index1"}, {"Attribute", "Value", "Index1"}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Partition", {{"Index", type text}}, "en-IN"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Partition", {{"Index", type text}}, "en-IN")[Index]), "Index", "Value"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Index1"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

    The only thing i cannot get to work here is the order of the items in the attribute column to match your order.

    Hope this helps.

nirvana_moksh i used index it worked as expected. Not sure why in your case it wouldn't work. Does it not work for any of the header level record or works for few and not for others. Just trying to narrow down the issue here although there is no logical explanation.

 parry2k - Sadly, doesn't work for anything at all. Like for row 1 see the index is 1 and after that when I see what is the output from the second table and the index for 1 shows up a value for say index 2987. Still trying to figure what can wrong in this process.
