Thanks in advance
Solved! Go to Solution.
You can split by line feed, remove excess spaces, split by space, promote headers, and cleanup.

I should say Your data is hard for ME to see but I'm not wearing my glasses.
It's hard to see your data, but it's a familiar setup. To get yourself going, split by delimiter using Special Characters, and use #(CR) and #(LF) (carriage return and line feeds.
