let Source = Table.FromRecords(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i65W8kvMTVWIKTUwSDTASilZKTn6OLkGhUC4uEilWh2izAryd3cNoo5R7p543UWsMcH+AR6ertRxUoiHa5BrME7DiDXG1zGIWi7ycnX0w28SaeYFOIb6EGdeLAA=",BinaryEncoding.Base64),Compression.Deflate))), addidx = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source,"Index"), result = Table.TransformColumns(addidx, {"Index", each Number.Mod(_, 3)+1, type number}) in resultIf my code solves your problem, mark it as a solution

According to the description of your problem, modify the code as follows. But I see that you are expecting the result to be a change every three lines, in which case the loop number doesn't need to be added. Just start directly with the split step.
let Source = Table.FromRecords(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i65W8kvMTVWyUnL0cXINCokpNTBINMBFKtXqwNUH+bu7BhGv3N0Tr/nISoP9Azw8XYk3OsTDNcg1GKcGZKW+jkGkmOzl6uiHXzWmngDHUB/i9MQCAA==",BinaryEncoding.Base64),Compression.Deflate))), addidx = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source,"Index"), mod = Table.TransformColumns(addidx, {"Index", each Number.Mod(_, 3)+1, type number}), split = Table.Split(mod, 3), trans = List.Transform(split, each Table.PromoteHeaders(Table.Transpose(Table.ReorderColumns(_,{"Index", "Name"})))), result = Table.Combine(trans) in resultBut that would require a code change, so you'll try with code above

THanks for your solution via the function Mod. But in final way , i Would like to pivot in order to have the first name like a values.
I have a message error like (
There were too many elements in the enumeration to complete the operation).
Yet there is only 8 rows
