let
    TrueIfContainsColumnnames = Table.AddColumn(Source, "__CustomTemp__", each List.ContainsAll(Record.ToList(_),_lColumnNames)),
    SkipTill1stTrue = Table.Skip(TrueIfContainsColumnnames,each [__CustomTemp__]<>true),
    RemoveTempColumn = Table.RemoveColumns(SkipTill1stTrue,{"__CustomTemp__"}),
    Result = RemoveTempColumn
in
    Result
