[/table]

Code: 
[SIZE=1]let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table5"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"NAMEA", type text}, {"NAMEB", type text}, {"NAMEC", type text}, {"DATE THING 1", type datetime}, {"DESCRIPTION", type text}, {"DATE THING 2", type datetime}, {"DESCRIPTION 2", type text}, {"DATE THING 3", type datetime}, {"DESCRIPTION 3", type text}}),
    #"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns" = Table.Unpivot(#"Changed Type", {"DATE THING 1", "DATE THING 2", "DATE THING 3"}, "Attribute", "Value"),
    #"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns1" = Table.Unpivot(#"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns", {"DESCRIPTION", "DESCRIPTION 2", "DESCRIPTION 3"}, "Attribute.1", "Value.1"),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Unpivoted Only Selected Columns1",{{"Attribute", "Type"}, {"Value", "Date"}}),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Renamed Columns",{"Attribute.1"}),
    #"Renamed Columns1" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"Value.1", "Description"}}),
    #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Renamed Columns1",{{"Date", type date}}),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type1","DATE ","",Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Type"})
in
    #"Replaced Value"[/SIZE]

now you can sort / filter / remove duplicates from description or whatever you want

Thx Sandy for your answer.

If you remove duplicates, Descript28 is related to THING 1, when this must be in THING 2. Same thing with Descript55, must be with THING 3. How can I get the correct result? Blessings!

you need to try yourself with columns selection and remove duplicates
I did unpivot as you wanted but the rest is up to you

remove duplicates from Description only is not mandatory :)
