Power query too slow

Hi all,

 

New here and hope to find someone ready to help me. My Excel Power Query app is loading data from a folder. The datas have, for some column, different headings so i found a workaround on youtube: I created a list of the headers, made it unique, converted to a table and then filtered and loaded back again to expand the new table. I hope I've been clear enough. 

 

From this moment on power query turns really slow in loading the data and I'm pretty sure the issued step are the ones I have of the Heading list and the Filtered Heading list. I attach below some image representing the steps used. 

 

Really hope someone can help in improving the script and make it faster, maybe even using another workaround to reach the point I need.

Final result with expanded table of filtered headings:

    Can you share maybe 2 files with dummy data and provide expected result based on sample files?

      Thanks for reply. I actually can't, the files are restricted. If you need some more information by screenshots or direct formulas I can provide.

       

      many thanks

        Just provide dummy data and expected result like I mentioned before. Without that I can't help you.
