transform data

Hello all, 

 

I have made a connection with a tool, but the data is coming in as a long line of columns

Mart1980_0-1696531201126.png

similar to the example below but its hundreds of columns. Is there an easy way to transform this data so that I have a string column with all the strings listed, volume overall, month volume and then month and year column

thank you in advance

 you should be able to do this in power query you just need to unpivot the the volume columns into one column, see example attached - im using year1 and year 2 in this example but thats irrelevant really, you can do this with any columns using UNPIVOT ans selecting the columns involved.
