Split inconsistent value format in Power Query

In this power query, I have three different value format: attribute14 is $, ratio is in % and multiple is in (x). I need to split the values or move them to different columns. I want to move multiple to column F and ratio to column G. How can I do so in Power Query?

Then, I am creating a graph with the Y axis being the values (and I need the values to be in the correct format in different columns otherwise the chart doesn't update the format). File in this link.

Thanks.

Thank you @DOLEARY85 maybe I didn't explain myself clearly. I just overly simplified the exercise in this link. If I navigate within the slicer, the Y axis and the data labels format in the chart does not update. Is there a way to make it update automatically?. The alternative would be keeping $, % and x in a separate column but I need to keep the labels in one column so I can use a slicer as shown in this link.

Hi,

 

select the column (D) and on the transform tool bar select pivot, in the values select the values column (E), this should split the coulmns as needed.
