I have below dataset.
| Student | Course1 | Course2 | Course3 | Course1 | Course2 | Course1 | Course2 | Course3 | Course1 | Course2 |
| James | 01/02/2019 | 12/08/2000 | Not Compliant | Not Compliant | Y | N | Y | 01/02/2021 | ||
| Jason | 28/09/2020 | 24/09/2019 | 11/09/2015 | Compliant | Not Compliant | N | Y | Y | 28/09/2022 | 24/09/2021 |
| John | 17/05/2018 | 18/01/2017 | Not Compliant | Not Compliant | N | N | N | 17/05/2020 | 18/01/2019 | |
| Jenny | 12/01/2021 | 08/09/2008 | Not Compliant | Compliant | Y | Y | Y | 12/01/2023 | ||
This data represents Student and courses they have done. First three course column shows courses and theie completeion date . Next two column shows Compliance of two courses. This goes on. I have done unpivot to see course name and their values in one column but my rows count has increased significantly. My columns have same course name but not all columns/course are repeating. Like course completion date is showing three course while compliance is showing for only two course. I want to see it as below outcome.
| James | Course1 | 01/02/2019 | Not Compliant | Y | 01/02/2021 |
| James | Course2 | Not Compliant | N | ||
| James | Course3 | 12/08/2000 | Y | ||
| Jason | Course1 | 28/09/2020 | Compliant | N | 28/09/2022 |
| Jason | Course2 | 24/09/2019 | Not Compliant | Y | 24/09/2021 |
| Jason | Course3 | 11/09/2015 | Y | ||
Please help the way it can be done. Either M code or any other solution.

@Junaid11 , In the first table which has course number, add a prefix or a suffix to give meeting what it is
| StartDate Course1 | StartDate Course2 | StartDate Course3 | Compliant Course1 | Compliant Course2 | Status Course1 | Status Course2 | Status Course3 | EndDate Course1 | EndDate Course2 |
Now unpivot all these columns. https://radacad.com/pivot-and-unpivot-with-power-bi
Split by Delimiter (first only) into 2 column https://www.tutorialgateway.org/how-to-split-columns-in-power-bi/
the pivot again using the first column in this split
refer this if needed
