Trying to parse excel data

$

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use Alteryx to parse some data that exists in XL. Its not structured properly though so somewhere between 6-8 rows would actually be one record...then there is a blank row separating each new record.

first row is company name

second is company number

third is status

then there is other data that follows, where I want to parse out the appointment and ceased dates...

 

 

Ideally I would like to transform it into a cleaner database structure so I can work with it - not really sure how to do it or if its possible (other than manually cutting and pasting it into columns for each one)

 

Here is a example of the data :
