Using row data as column names

Hello everyone,

 

Following is my assumption, I have 4 columns in my raw data - Column Name, Channel, Placement and Content.

 

I want to use data in "Column Name" as column names and use data in that column cell accordingly to generate "Custom Column".

 

Is there a way of doing so in Power Query?

 

I understand a column is expressed in square brackets, but what expression should I use to achieve the above?

 

Thank you so much for your time and help.
