Open a blank query - Home - Advanced Editor - Remove everything from there and paste the below code

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjSyMjWzMjVSitWJVjKzsADThlbGJlaGEDELS4iQoZWhsZWJKYRjZKYUGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Data = _t]),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Calculated Modulo" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Index", {{"Index", each Number.Mod(_, 2), type number}}),
    #"Added Index1" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Calculated Modulo", "Index.1", 0, 1, Int64.Type),
    #"Divided Column" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Added Index1", {{"Index.1", each _ / 2, type number}}),
    #"Rounded Down" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Divided Column",{{"Index.1", Number.RoundDown, Int64.Type}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Rounded Down", {{"Index", type text}}, "en-US"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Rounded Down", {{"Index", type text}}, "en-US")[Index]), "Index", "Data"),
    #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Pivoted Column",{"Index.1"}),
    #"Renamed Columns" = Table.RenameColumns(#"Removed Columns",{{"0", "Timestamp"}, {"1", "Value"}})
in
    #"Renamed Columns"

Thanks.

This works perfect.
