Data in a column to be split into diff column's as per below sample data

 I am new in Power BI , have tried Pivoting & Unpivoting but was not able to acheive the required format as this is a large data which needs to be updated on a daily basis in the table ..

Need help to get the Data transformed so that the report can be done ..
