    result = Table.FromRecords(Source[result]),
    newTable = #table(
        {
            "Priority",  
            "Region",
            "Count"   
        },
        {}
    ),
    TableSource = Table.Buffer(result),
    data = List.Generate( 
        () => [x=0],
        each [x]<= Table.RowCount(result),
        each [ 
            //Generate a new Table and append fields into it
            newTable = Table.InsertRows(newTable,1,{[Priority = "2", Region ="NA",Count = "56"]}),
            x=[x]+1] 
    )
