Can I unpivot multiple non-contiguous rows to columns?

I am trying to import six regional schedules, each with a separate sheet for each week of the month.
When I pull all of the sheets in through power query the dates are scattered on various rows throughout the aggregated editor view.

Is it possible to unpivot all of the rows with dates to columns? I can only get the initial week to do so, and would prefer not to have to do a separate query to each sheet for each region if possible.

The Date is structured like:

I want to end with a list of for example, all Adults Walk-Ins grouped by date, but I am not sure of it is possible with the mess I have.

Thanks,
Mark

Here is the Mcode using Power Query to unpivot your data.

Code: 
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Pop", type text}, {"Task", type text}, {"Shift", type text}, {"Break", type any}, {"Lunch", type text}, {"Break2", type any}, {"8/5/2019", type text}, {"8/6/2019", type text}, {"8/7/2019", type text}, {"8/8/2019", type text}, {"8/9/2019", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Columns" = Table.UnpivotOtherColumns(#"Changed Type", {"Pop", "Task", "Shift", "Break", "Lunch", "Break2"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Reordered Columns" = Table.ReorderColumns(#"Unpivoted Columns",{"Attribute", "Value", "Pop", "Task", "Shift", "Break", "Lunch", "Break2"}),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Reordered Columns",{{"Attribute", Order.Ascending}})
in
    #"Sorted Rows"

This is the end result.

Will this presentation work for you? If not, please show us a mocked up version of what is acceptable.

The post was partially cutoff, and without the ability to attach an attachment or picture to the post, I unfortunately can't provide a good mock up.

Let me retry.

repeat in 63 rows for the next week, and then again in varying row amounts for each of the 6 regions.

I can get the unpivot shown, but what I badly asked and didn't show correctly was can I get the other weeks to unpivot too, because whatever I try I just get the first week.

Thanks,
Mark

repeat at various row counts for each region. Is it possible to get the other weeks to unpivot as well, because all I can do is get the first week's dates to unpivot.

That is the type of presentation I am looking for though. I need to get a list of names and tasks by date so I can add an index to match to additional data in a different query.

Thanks,

I don't understand your requirement. Why not list the whole range of data and unpivot it. I seem to be missing something here.

@Mark_E

Can you use the insert link feature ( the globe next to the smiley face) to share a picture of what the results should look like in excel?

Should the original data look like this?

Sorry for the delay, I had a family funeral and then have been getting caught back up.

Here is a link to the file.

Here is a picture of what I am trying to get to.

I can get this output, but only with dates for the first week. I am trying to get this output for all sheets (each sheet is a week). As it is, I get all the workers, but the dates are incorrect.

Very sorry.

from your picture I can see transform for ADS Processing. It's ok? or post representative (manually created) expected result.
and you want this ADS Processing from all sheets into one table?
