I have a data set that looks like the above.

 

I want to create header names that concatenate the three first rows and then unpivot the data, to get something like this:

 

2019-Jan-ActualSales100
2019-Jan-ActualCost-50
2019-Feb-ActualSales100
2019-Feb-ActualCost-50
2019-Mar-ActualSales100
2019-Mar-ActualCost

-50

 

If you could help that would be great. Thanks

    Please see the attached file with all the steps included.

     

    Personally I would skip the last two steps "Unpivoted Columns"  and "Merged Columns" as its easier to work with this format but I'm sure that you have valid reasons.
