Hallo huynq
you have to first split der your data into tables, promote headers, combine your tables and then do unpivotother
Here the complete solution
let Source = #table ( {"Column1","Column2","Column3","Column4"}, { {"","1/1","1/2","1/3"}, {"A","1","1","2"}, {"B","0","2","3"}, {"C","1","1",""}, {"","2/1","2/2",""}, {"A","1","1",""} } ), AddIndex = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1), AddDevideTable = Table.AddColumn(AddIndex, "Devide Table", each if [Column1]="" then [Index] else null), FillDownDevideTable = Table.FillDown(AddDevideTable,{"Devide Table"}), GroupTables = Table.Group(FillDownDevideTable, {"Devide Table"}, {{"AllRows", each _, type table [Column1=text, Column2=text, Column3=text, Column4=text, Index=number, Devide Table=number]}}), MaintainTable = Table.TransformColumns ( GroupTables, { { "AllRows", (tableint) => let DeleteIndexDevideTable = Table.RemoveColumns(tableint, {"Index", "Devide Table"}), Promote = Table.PromoteHeaders(DeleteIndexDevideTable) in Promote } } ), Combine = Table.Combine ( MaintainTable[AllRows] ), UnpivotOther = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(Combine, {""}, "Attribute", "Value"), FilterNonEmptyValue = Table.SelectRows(UnpivotOther, each ([Value] <> "")) in FilterNonEmptyValueCopy paste this code to the advanced editor in a new blank query to see how the solution works. If this solution fits your need, copy and past a part of it and implement it in your query
