Check out the example solution attached and let me know if that works for you. The only downfall is that it doesn't create the "<65" column since that was unknown to the input data.

- RecordID's keep things organized

- Dynamic Select tools sort out what need to be transformed. 

- Transposing allows unique name-value pairs to be identified.

- Cross Tab on these values will create the complete data frame

- Multi Field Formula fills in nulls with 0s.

- RecordID is used to join back to the numeric fields.
