    Use below Query to achieve this output

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Inserted Modulo" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Modulo", each Number.Mod([Index], 4), type number),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Inserted Modulo", each ([Modulo] = 0 or [Modulo] = 3)),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Index", "Modulo"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"

      

    To achieve the below output, replace [Modulo] = 0 or [Modulo] = 3 in 5th row of the code above

    with [Modulo] = 1 or [Modulo] = 2

    Updated code is below

    let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Inserted Modulo" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Modulo", each Number.Mod([Index], 4), type number),
    #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Inserted Modulo", each [Modulo] = 1 or [Modulo] = 2),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Filtered Rows",{"Index", "Modulo"})
in
    #"Removed Columns"
