Hi Anonymous ,
1. Choose columns with values (FY18 - FY20), click Transform - Unpivot columns (you will get 2 columns: Attribute & Value).
2. Choose Company_name and Attribute columns, click Transform - Merge Columns, choose Space as a Separator (you will now see 2 columns: Merged & Value).
3. Choose Merged and Value columns, click Transform - Pivot Column. Values column - Value, Aggregate Value Function - Don't aggregate (Advanced options).
