    Try this:

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjQwMDQ0UdJRCijKTylNLlHIS8xNVVA2BIqYG5hbGpsBGc75RUWpQCnn0uKS/NzUIoi0W2ZeZnFGaooCTKeuglNpTrZSrA5xpganJufnpSQWVcLNJcZQMwxDjUCGGhobmRphdaoRdlMDEpOzE9NTU4g2mVjnYhpsjmGwMcxgY6xONqaSyaQ7ORYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"GOLD PL_PartMain [Part_No]" = _t, #"GOLD PL_PartMain [Part_Name]" = _t, #"GOLD PL_PartMain [Main_Part_Key]" = _t, #"GOLD PL_CommonCustomerPart [Customer_Name]" = _t, #"GOLD PL_PartMain [Part_Type]" = _t]),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"GOLD PL_PartMain [Main_Part_Key]"}, {{"All", each Table.FirstN(_, 1)}}),
        // This step expands every column except 1st column of prev. step "Grouped Rows" which is "GOLD PL_PartMain [Main_Part_Key]"
        #"Expanded All Dynamic" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "All", List.Select(Table.ColumnNames(Source), each _ <> Table.ColumnNames(#"Grouped Rows"){0}))
    in
        #"Expanded All Dynamic"
