Need help converting multiple column groups to rows

Hi, I have a dataset/table that looks like this:-

* There is a Total_Pct column at the end which isn't shown in the picture above.

 

I wish to transform the table in Power Query such that it looks like this:-

 

FrequencySexAlcohol consumed_NumberAlcohol consumed_Percent
Never usedMale373223
Never usedFemale694119
Never usedUnknown14233
Never usedTotal1111320.2
Have used, but not in last 30Male260816
Have used, but not in last 30Female640317
.
.
.
   

 

How can I do that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

 

let
Source = YourSource,
Sex = List.ReplaceValue(Table.ColumnNames(Source)," Freq.","",Replacer.ReplaceText),
Data = Table.FromRows(
List.TransformMany(
Table.ToRows(Source),
each {1,3,5,7},
(x,y) => {x{0},Sex{y},x{y},x{y+1}}),
type table [Frequency = text, Sex = text, Alcohol consumed_Number = Int64.Type, Alcohol consumed_Percent = type number ])
in
Data
