I got a complex data in a format like (compact pivot table),
I need to convert it into tabular form,
I tried fill down in power query to clean this data.
I have made a small example to explain this problem.
first picture is the small simulation of the problem,
in second picture after using fill down the red part is unwanted,
and yellow highlighted part is also not required in my final data.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi, there is no grouping necessary.

Thank you @dufoq3 ,
I have attached the google drive link of my sample file,
link ,
this file has three sheets,
input sheet is the source data I want to clean and final output is what I want,
Output one is the intermediate step in which red colored rows are deleted to get final result if I have to do this task manually in excel.
Regards,
Samrat
