Even better with only this:

Fields:

LOAD

    name

FROM [lib://Test/Tests_Community.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Parameter);

Data:

LOAD

    data,

    recno() as Line

FROM [lib://Test/Tests_Community.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Values);

for i=0 to noofrows('Fields')-1

    let vFieldName=peek('name',i,'Fields');

   

        if $(i)=0 then

    let vAppelTable='noconcatenate FinalTable:';

    else

    let vAppelTable='left join(FinalTable)';

    endif

   

  $(vAppelTable)

    LOAD *;

    LOAD *,

    recno() as LineNumber;

  LOAD

    data as [$(vFieldName)]

    resident Data

    where floor((Line-($(i)+1))/noofrows('Fields'))=(Line-($(i)+1))/noofrows('Fields');

      

next i

Drop tables Fields, Data;

Drop field LineNumber;

Here you go, free of charge:

// here your first table

Fields:

LOAD

    name

FROM [lib://Test/Tests_Community.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Parameter);

// here your second table

Data:

LOAD

    data,

    recno() as Line

FROM [lib://Test/Tests_Community.xlsx]

(ooxml, embedded labels, table is Values);

for i=0 to noofrows('Fields')-1

    let vFieldName=peek('name',i,'Fields');

   

  [Data_$(vFieldName)]:

     LOAD *,

    recno() as LineNumber;

  LOAD

    data as [$(vFieldName)]

    resident Data

    where floor((Line-($(i)+1))/noofrows('Fields'))=(Line-($(i)+1))/noofrows('Fields');

      

next i

for i=0 to noofrows('Fields')-1

  let vFieldName=peek('name',i,'Fields');

   

    if $(i)=0 then

    let vAppelTable='noconcatenate FinalTable:';

    else

    let vAppelTable='left join(FinalTable)';

    endif

   

    $(vAppelTable)

    LOAD *

    resident [Data_$(vFieldName)];

   

    Drop table [Data_$(vFieldName)];   

   

next i

Drop tables Fields, Data;

Drop field LineNumber;
