Transform input data with multi row categories and dates

Hello Everyone,

 

I have run into an issue with transforming input data, where I need to transform input data per the screenshot attached - essentially so that there is a separate row input for each customer for each month.

 

Explained in example input and desired output file / screenshot

 

Main trouble is that Alteryx struggles to recognise the multi row categories and therefore transform it and so on.

 

Attaching the sample file and screenshot of the sample file.
