Excel document cleaning through Alteryx

Sivory18

Hello,

 

I am fairly new to Alteryx and I need help. As you can see, the output only has rows, but no column. I am wanting to use tool like text to column or something so that it can put the data into columns so like this:

 

Account number | Instrument | Quantity | Price

 

As you can see in some rows, they either have the header again or "-----" i want to remove that as well. 

 

here is the raw excel file if you need and a screenshot of what I want it to be. 

 

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

@Sivory18 similar to the previous post, filter to keep only the relevant fields, use regex (updated parse) to split the data and select to only keep the relevant fields.
