    See the attached file as well

    You can follow the steps from the Query Editor

     

    All of this was user Interface driven (No manual coding required)

     

    let
        Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type any}, {"Column4", type any}, {"Column5", type any}, {"Column6", type any}, {"Column7", type any}, {"Column8", type any}, {"Column9", type any}, {"Column10", type any}, {"Column11", type any}}),
        #"Transposed Table" = Table.Transpose(#"Changed Type"),
        #"Merged Columns" = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Transposed Table", {{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}, "en-US"),{"Column1", "Column2"},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.None),"Merged"),
        #"Transposed Table1" = Table.Transpose(#"Merged Columns"),
        #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Transposed Table1", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
        #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{",", type text}, {"Branch,Month", type text}, {"1000,10/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1000,11/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1000,12/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1001,10/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1001,11/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1001,12/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1002,10/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1002,11/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}, {"1002,12/1/2018 12:00:00 AM", type number}}),
        #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type1", {",", "Branch,Month"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
        #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Unpivoted Columns", "Attribute", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(",", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Attribute.1", "Attribute.2"}),
        #"Changed Type2" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Attribute.1", Int64.Type}, {"Attribute.2", type datetime}}),
        #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Changed Type2",{{",", "Account"}, {"Branch,Month", "Sub Account"}, {"Attribute.1", "Branch"}, {"Attribute.2", "Month"}})
    in
        #"Renamed Columns"
