Fill rows based on combined values from succeeding rows

Here's my current dataset:

 

Column 1Column 2
Customer Name1aaa
Street Name1bbb
City Name1ccc
Country1ddd
Customer Name2eee
Street Name2fff
City Name2ggg
Country2hhh

 

I want it to look like this:

 

Column 1Column 2
Customer Name1, Street Name1, City Name1, Country1  aaa
Customer Name1, Street Name1, City Name1, Country1bbb
Customer Name1, Street Name1, City Name1, Country1 ccc
Customer Name1, Street Name1, City Name1, Country1ddd
Customer Name2, Street Name2, City Name2, Country2eee
Customer Name2, Street Name2, City Name2, Country2fff
Customer Name2, Street Name2, City Name2, Country2ggg
Customer Name2, Street Name2, City Name2, Country2hhh

Hi @Anonymous 

 

Does every customer have the same 4 rows? Here is one way, otherwise you need other approaches

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("Xcw7DoAgEADRq5itafQK9DaWhILPAhZIgkvB7RVJiNq+SUYI4OWkFDFPq4o4AwOlFEgmYKOMSIO11g/znepAY0zHVA7KtZG1ttP7u9wBEf/fxs6577eh9/79bRRCACkv", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}}),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each Number.RoundTowardZero([Index]/4)),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Added Custom", {"Custom"}, {{"all", each Text.Combine( _[Column1],",") }}),
    #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Added Custom", {"Custom"}, #"Grouped Rows", {"Custom"}, "Grouped Rows", JoinKind.LeftOuter),
    #"Expanded Grouped Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Grouped Rows", {"all"}, {"all"}),
    #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Expanded Grouped Rows",{"all", "Column2"})
in
    #"Removed Other Columns"
