Hi,

you obtain this

serpiva64_0-1677253159190.png

- split column by delimiter

serpiva64_1-1677253191769.png

- traspose table

- keep top rows 1 (it is your columnNames)

- combine the table with your names with the full table (the step before)

= Table.Combine({ ColumnNames , #"Transposed Table"})

- promote headers

Apoligies, i dont think i was as clear as i needed to be with the outcome required. The table I posted also have annother column of email addresses (these are all unqiue).

So the outcome required is as follows:
