There are multiple ways to do this, but this is how I approached it.

 

I started by removing the extra spaces in the data with a data cleansing. I then applied a record ID, so I'd know the order of the original data. Seeing at the ID was the last record of each "group," I created a group ID using the data field. I then took a sample to identify the ID line, and the remaining data. I used a join on the group ID to add the ID to every line, and then removed all of the extra fields.
