Here's one way:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45W8krMTS1WitWJVvIFk45GhsZghqGlvoGpvqGlpQmY65Ofl5KfB1GYWJSZCGa5gUknMyOIFiMLfQMzoBZziJYAoDqI0Y55JRn5eZXI1lgaG0L0GOobWAL1WECMcEotyskEWhMLAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Input = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Input", type text}}), Labels = {"Name","Gender","ID","Birth","City"}, #"Label Column" = List.Repeat(Labels,Table.RowCount(#"Changed Type")/5), #"Add Label Column" = Table.FromColumns( Table.ToColumns(#"Changed Type") & {#"Label Column"}, Table.ColumnNames(#"Changed Type") & {"Result"}), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Add Label Column",{{"Result", type text}}) in #"Changed Type1"
