Hello Grant!
Yes, you can do that. But if you gave a little more description of your dataset, it would’ve been easier for me to help you. Anyway, you can apply the following steps in Power Query for the dataset used in the 4th solution in the article.

Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name=”Table1″]}[Content]

Changed Type = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{“Roll”, Int64.Type}, {“Marks”, Int64.Type}})

Reordered Columns = Table.ReorderColumns(#”Changed Type”,{“Marks”, “Roll”})

Sorted Rows = Table.Sort(#”Reordered Columns”,{{“Marks”, Order.Ascending}})

Transposed Table = Table.Transpose(#”Sorted Rows”)

Merged Columns = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#”Transposed Table”, {{“Column1”, type text}, {“Column2”, type text}, {“Column3”, type text}, {“Column4”, type text}}, “en-US”),{“Column1”, “Column2”, “Column3”, “Column4”},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(“,”, QuoteStyle.None),”Merged”)

Merged Columns1 = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#”Merged Columns”, {{“Column5”, type text}, {“Column6”, type text}, {“Column7”, type text}}, “en-US”),{“Column5”, “Column6”, “Column7”},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(“,”, QuoteStyle.None),”Merged.1″)

Merged Columns2 = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#”Merged Columns1″, {{“Column8”, type text}, {“Column9”, type text}, {“Column10”, type text}}, “en-US”),{“Column8”, “Column9”, “Column10”},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(“,”, QuoteStyle.None),”Merged.2″)

Merged Columns3 = Table.CombineColumns(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#”Merged Columns2″, {{“Column11”, type text}, {“Column12”, type text}}, “en-US”),{“Column11”, “Column12”},Combiner.CombineTextByDelimiter(“,”, QuoteStyle.None),”Merged.3″)
Transposed Table1 = Table.Transpose(#”Merged Columns3″)

Split Column by Delimiter = Table.SplitColumn(#”Transposed Table1″, “Column1”, Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter(“,”, QuoteStyle.Csv), {“Column1.1”, “Column1.2”, “Column1.3”, “Column1.4″})

Changed Type1 = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#”Split Column by Delimiter”,{{“Column1.1”, Int64.Type}, {“Column1.2”, Int64.Type}, {“Column1.3”, Int64.Type}, {“Column1.4″, Int64.Type}})

Removed Columns = Table.RemoveColumns(#”Changed Type1”,{“Column1.2”, “Column1.3”, “Column1.4″})

Renamed Columns = Table.RenameColumns(#”Removed Columns”,{{“Column1.1”, “Marks”}, {“Column2”, “Roll”}})
