My solution using regex tools

 

Spoiler
First I'm using regex parse method to split the dataset into several columns and collect only usefull informations, my pattern is : 

(\d+)(.+)\s(\w+)\s\((\d{4})\)\s\w{3}:(.+)\s\w{3}:(.+)\s\$(.*)million,\s\$(.*)million,\s\$(.*)million,\s\$(.*)million,\s\$(.*)million

Then I'm using regex tokenize method to rename column dynamically, my pattern is :
([^|]+)

Just getting started with Regex. Surely not the most efficient way to do this but it worked.
