    #"Sheet 1_Sheet" = Source{[Item="Sheet 1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Sheet 1_Sheet", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"respondent_id", Int64.Type}, {"collector_id", Int64.Type}, {"date_created", type datetime}, {"date_modified", type datetime}, {"Column5", type any}, {"Column6", type any}, {"Column7", type any}, {"Column8", type any}, {"Column9", type any}, {"Project", type text}, {"Projektnummer", Int64.Type}, {"Deliverymanager", type text}, {"Date", type text}, {"Client", type text}, {"Column15", type any}, {"Client Organisation", type text}, {"Column17", type any}, {"Column18", type any}, {"Column19", type any}, {"Category 1", Int64.Type}, {"Rating 1", Int64.Type}, {"Category 2", Int64.Type}, {"Rating 2", Int64.Type}, {"Category 3", Int64.Type}, {"Rating 3", Int64.Type}, {"Category 4", Int64.Type}, {"Rating 4", Int64.Type}, {"Category 5", Int64.Type}, {"Rating 5", Int64.Type}, {"Column30", type any}, {"Weighting 1", Int64.Type}, {"Weighting 2", Int64.Type}, {"Weighting 3", Int64.Type}, {"Weighting 4", Int64.Type}, {"Weighting 5", Int64.Type}}),
    fn = (Table as table, Column1 as text, Column2 as text, Column3 as text) =>
    Table.Combine({Table, Table.RenameColumns(Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type", {Column1, Column2, Column3}), {{Column1, Text.Start(Column1, 8)}, {Column2, Text.Start(Column2, 6)}, {Column3, Text.Start(Column3, 9)}})}),
    Table = Table.RenameColumns(Table.SelectColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Category 1", "Rating 1", "Weighting 1"}), {{"Category 1", "Category"}, {"Rating 1", "Rating"}, {"Weighting 1", "Weighting"}}),
    Result = fn(fn(fn(fn(Table, "Category 2", "Rating 2", "Weighting 2"), "Category 3", "Rating 3", "Weighting 3"), "Category 4", "Rating 4", "Weighting 4"), "Category 5", "Rating 5", "Weighting 5")
    in
