Hi @jenner85 

 

This is how you do it, the bit you need is a transpose tool to pivot the headers down into a new field and then use a formula tool to update the name.

I've gone one step further to convert the numbers into a numeric field type which means you can add the numbers up, which you can't do with a string field type.
