How to split excel file

Dear colleagues,

I would like to ask you about how I can split one excel file which contains information about each person in the same TAB (excel file attached). There is always the same number of rows with information about the report which are not needed. 

 

Report    
Number 23456    
date 01.07.2020   
     
Data for John Smith   
  JanuaryFebruaryMarch
 module 11032030.5
 type 05551020.6
 module 3801000.5
     
Report    
Number 01020    
date 01.07.2020   
     
Data for Anna Green   
  JanuaryFebruaryMarch
 module 11032030.5
 module 2551020.6
 extract 3801000.5
 part 2201180

 

Desired outcome is like this (under each month summary data from all rows for each person) 

 

NameJanuaryFebruaryMarch
Anna Green25841681.6
John Smith2384051.6

 

Thank you in advance,

Asia
