Does anyone know how to create a date value for each row and divide into 3 values based on quarters

Hello, this is my table.  

Region ProductSub-productAttributeValue
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ112899
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ215929
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ312123
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ412093

How do I convert from this table to this one? Splitting quaters into 3, there should be month column.

Region ProductSub-productAttributeValue  Month/Date
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ14299.7  2022.01.01
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ14299.7  2022.02.01
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ14299.7  2022.03.01
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ25309.7  2022.04.01
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ25309.7  2022.05.01
Czech RepublicFurnitureChairQ25309.7  2022.06.01

and so on. I have different countries, products and subproduct as well. 

How do I achieve this on Power Query?

Thanks for your support.

Hi @Anonymous ,
you can extract the number part from the quarter-column and then create a list of months based on that.
Expand that list out and divide by 3 to get monthly values:

// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Region ", type text}, {"Product", type text}, {"Sub-product", type text}, {"Attribute", type text}, {"Value", Int64.Type}}),
    InsertBase = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Base", each Number.From(Text.AfterDelimiter([Attribute], "Q")), type number),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(InsertBase, "Months", each {([Base]*3-2) .. [Base]*3}),
    #"Expanded Months" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Months"),
    #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Months", "MonthlyValue", each [Value]/3)
in
    #"Added Custom1"
