Hi @Sattu_98 ,

 

Here a solution with an own example.

 

Before:

After:

Here the M Code for that example. Note, you can see the steps I took on the right hand side (green). Also, the trick is to fork out the code by referencing steps that lay higher up the chain (see yellow and orange)

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjTSNzTUNzIwMlbSUXIEYicgdgZiFyB2BWI3pdhYAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Timestamp = _t, Column1A = _t, Column2A = _t, Column3A = _t, Column1B = _t, Column2B = _t, Column3B = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Timestamp", type date}, {"Column1A", type text}, {"Column2A", type text}, {"Column3A", type text}, {"Column1B", type text}, {"Column2B", type text}, {"Column3B", type text}}),
    #"Removed Columns 1" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Column1B", "Column2B", "Column3B"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns 1",{{"Column1A", "Column1"}, {"Column2A", "Column2"}, {"Column3A", "Column3"}}),
    #"Removed Columns 2" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Column1A", "Column2A", "Column3A"}),
    #"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns 2",{{"Column1B", "Column1"}, {"Column2B", "Column2"}, {"Column3B", "Column3"}}),
    #"Appended Query" = Table.Combine({#"Renamed Columns", #"Renamed Columns1"})
in
    #"Appended Query"

 

Hope this helps 🙂

hi, @Sattu_98 

 

 

 

let
    Source = currently_getting,
    columns = Table.ToColumns(Source),
    split = List.Split(columns, 6),
    combine = List.Transform(List.Zip(split), List.Combine),
    to_tbl = Table.FromColumns(combine, List.FirstN(Table.ColumnNames(Source), 6))
in
    to_tbl

 

 

or 

 

 

let
    Source = currently_getting,
    z = 
        Table.FromList(
            List.Combine(
                Table.ToList(Source, (x) => List.Split(x, 6))
            ), 
            (w) => w, 
            List.FirstN(Table.ColumnNames(Source), 6)
        )
in 
    z
