Help formatting or unpivoting data

I am bringing in data from a sheet in excel and I need to reformat it into better columns and rows in Alteryx as part of a larger workflow. I think it would be considered unpivoting columns, but I'm not familiar with how to do this in Alteryx.

 

I have data that looks like this:

 

 Forecasted year202120212021
 Forecasted monthSeptemberOctoberNovember
     
Loc NameProd mixCostCostCost
Loc AAverage100200300
Loc A10101201301
Loc A16102202302
Loc BAverage103203303
Loc B7104204304
Loc B12105205305

 

But I want it to look like this:

 

Loc NameProd mixForecasted YearForecasted MonthCost
Loc AAverage2021September100
Loc AAverage2021October200
Loc AAverage2021November300
Loc A102021September101
Loc A102021October201
Loc A102021November301
Loc A162021September102
Loc A162021October202
Loc A162021November302

 

I'm not sure how to get the date fields into the rows. I feel like this shouldn't be too difficult, but I am completely baffled! I've attached the sample input data. Thanks for the help!
