| Dept | Mathematics |
| Emp ID | 123 |
| Emp name | Daniel |
| Dept | Science |
| Emp ID | 124 |
| Emp name | Mohammed |
| Dept | History |
| Emp ID | 125 |

| Mohammed | History | 125 |
| Andreas | English | 126 |

Hi Anonymous ,
that is basically an unstacking exercise where you need an ID column for each row. You can create that as follows:let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Zc0/C8IwEAXwryI3d/H/LLRohS46hgxHejQHzSUkWfz2VhGJcbx378dTCjoXVoKOoIGrtwK6UdBSyMs9YLbkMLNJ7/hV7dvlsd5sv8HHtihMc6nvhkkM1XJXy8FbdI7G0l44ZR8ftd3X9iRjJEwl7WSaOdmaHmp6Y2Mx/qyeyU8Rg/3bPYLWTw==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Attribute = _t, Value = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Attribute", type text}, {"Value", type text}}), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type), #"Integer-Divided Column" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Index", {{"Index", each Number.IntegerDivide(_, 3), Int64.Type}}), #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Integer-Divided Column", List.Distinct(#"Integer-Divided Column"[Attribute]), "Attribute", "Value") in #"Pivoted Column"See steps: "Add Index" and "Integer-Divide Column".

Thanks a lot!!! ImkeF , wdx223_Daniel
=Table.Combine(List.Transform(Table.Split(PreviousStepName,3),each Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.Transpose(_))))
