Data from one column is displaced in 2 columns - how to merge the data correctly

Hi all

 

I'm new to Power Query and have been struggling with some issue. I'm getting data from pdf files but when data is in Query - each column is displaced - please see below:

How to achieve that relevant data is in the right column?

 

And if pdf document is on 3 pages - then data from one column can be displaced in 3 columns - on each page on different column.

 

Thank you in advance for any suggestion!

Hi @MsArtaLa ,

The way I can think of is to manually filter out the tables and then append them together.

Add a index column first.

Append tables:
