    Hi databot_kd, check this:

     

    Output

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCi5NTk4tLk4rzVFQitWJVjI0MjYxNQMzzS0sYUxLCzNLczALosovv0QBoROm2szUzBjMNjUDajA2tYBwLIFSSrGxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Org Num" = _t]),
    Transformed = Table.FromColumns(List.Combine(List.Transform(Table.SplitAt(Source, List.PositionOf(Source[Org Num], "Not Successful")), Table.ToColumns))),
    PromotedHeaders = Table.PromoteHeaders(Transformed, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    FilteredRows = Table.SelectRows(PromotedHeaders, each ([Not Successful] <> null))

Use this formula

let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
S1 = Source[Org Num],
Custom1 = Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.FromRows(List.Zip(List.Split(S1,List.PositionOf(S1,"Not Successful")))))
in
Custom1
