    hi Anonymous 

    For this error, it means you have more than one value in same Megerd ID for Type or Region or Price.

    It like this:

     

    So please adjust the Pivot function as below:

     

    here is M code, you could try it.

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQrOzc8vyQAy/PKLwLSCUqwOREoBpygI++SXg8WM8IgF55ci6QaJeiQWpcA1xMYCAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Merged = _t, Type = _t, Region = _t, Price = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Merged", Int64.Type}, {"Type", type text}, {"Region", type text}, {"Price", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type"," ",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Type", "Region", "Price"}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Replaced Value", {"Merged"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Unpivoted Other Columns", List.Distinct(#"Unpivoted Other Columns"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value", List.Max)
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

Hi Anonymous 

 

Try this 

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQrOzc8vyQAyFMA4VgciDOL55RdBZZBFQdgnvxwsZoRHLDi/FEk3SNQjsSgFYVEsAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Merged = _t, Type = _t, Region = _t, Price = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Merged", Int64.Type}, {"Type", type text}, {"Region", type text}, {"Price", type text}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type"," ",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Type", "Region", "Price"}),
    #"Unpivoted Other Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Replaced Value", {"Merged"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Unpivoted Other Columns", List.Distinct(#"Unpivoted Other Columns"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value")
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

or see the attached
