Dealing with Horizontal Data

Hello

I received an ugly horizontal data set. Here is an example of what it looks like (note, there are 66 names in my data with about 73 dates):

 

 

  Morrison, Jim Joplin, Janice Winehouse, Amy 
 1/1/15hoursratehoursratehoursrate
Type 11/1/15      
Type 21/1/15 15 18 17.75
Type 31/1/15      
 2/1/15hoursratehoursratehoursrate
Type 12/1/15      
Type 22/1/15 15.25 18.5 18.25
Type 32/1/15      

 

Here is the output I need: 

DateNameRate
1/1/15Morrison, Jim15
2/1/15Morrison, Jim15.25
1/1/15Joplin, Janice18
2/1/15Joplin, Janice18.5
1/1/15Winehouse, Amy17.75
2/1/15Winehouse, Amy18.25

 

I have already attempted this a few ways, but I am not able to solve it. Is there anything like a Multi-Column tool I could use to pair the rates in D, F, and H with the names in C, E, and G?

Any guidance on this one is much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance. 

Jen

Hi @JBO

 

Please find attached a sample workflow which gets the desired output. I have added annotations within the workflow.

 

Best,

@JordanB, thank you so much! This is awesome.

My data is more complicated than what I shared here and I was able to use this as a foundation.
