Split Four Columns without Headers into Two Rows in Power Query

Question

I have data that looks like this:

Column1	Column2	Column3	Column 4
Work Order Number	12345678-123	Total Fee	£1,000
Work Order Title	A Project	Remaining Fee	£500
Sector	Commercial	Last Review	01/12/22

And I want to re-shape that data in Power Query so it looks like the table below (Although the order of the columns isn't important).

Work Order Number	Work Order Title	Sector	Total Fee	Remaining Fee	Last Review
12345678-123	A Project	Commercial	£1,000	£500	01/12/22

Does anybody have any pointers on how to do this?

Thanks,

Chris

Try below

let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
#"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
// assumes groups of three rows
     #"Integer-Divided Column" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Index", {{"Index", each Number.IntegerDivide(_, 3), Int64.Type}}),
// assumes groups of 2 columns + index
     Part1 = Table.SelectColumns(#"Integer-Divided Column",{"Column1", "Column2", "Index"}),
     Part2a = Table.SelectColumns(#"Integer-Divided Column",{"Column3", "Column4", "Index"}),
Part2b = Table.RenameColumns(Part2a,{{"Column3", "Column1"}, {"Column4", "Column2"}}),
combined=Table.Combine({Part1,Part2b}),
#"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(combined, List.Distinct(combined[Column1]), "Column1", "Column2"),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Pivoted Column",{{"Last Review", type date}, {"Total Fee", type number}, {"Remaining Fee", type number}}),
#"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Changed Type",{"Index"})
in  #"Removed Columns"
