Add a column with

Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=",", Columns=8, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]))

Produces this:

Keep/Remove any columns you want. I chose to only keep the original file name:

= Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Name", "Custom"})

Now press the little icon:

Select all the fields you want:

Now this is the simplest case. As you can see the column headings are repeated.

You can fix this by changing the "Table.Addcolumn".

For example like this:

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each 
     let 
        csv = Csv.Document([Content],[Delimiter=",", Columns=8, Encoding=65001, QuoteStyle=QuoteStyle.None]),
        csv_with_headers =  Table.PromoteHeaders(csv, [PromoteAllScalars=true])
     in csv_with_headers)

You will have to change the Expand columns step and you get this:
