Turn Individual Month Columns into Months Column (this is a hard one!)

Hello. I have the following situation:

As you can see, there is a monthly budget (Budget Inicial 2018) per asset account (Cta. Contable). There problem is that the user (this is from an Excel) built one column per month: a column for January (ene-18), a column for February (feb-18), and so on. 

The challenge is to make a Month column, so that the table ends up like this:

 

Asset Account            Budget Inicial 2018           Month

 

3456                           14.000                               January

34567                         150.332                             January

23421                         200.000                             February

etc                              etc                                     etc

 

 

IMPORTANT: the reason why I deemed this "a difficult one" is because I want to do it entirely on Power BI's ETL, so that the user does not have to worry about any of this.

 

Thanks you very much in advance!
