Unpivot / Merge Columns

Hi Guys. 

I've got an excel file that I am trying to pull into Power BI. The file has a number of "Merged" columns in Excel:

I would like a single column for dates, a single column for either "staff" or "wages" through Power Query Editor. Or is there an easier way to do this?
