1252020105
120202255
1002020317
502019318

How can I say in Power Query to discard all the rows starting from the first empty line?
 

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    lst = Table.ToRows(Source),
    row = List.PositionOf(lst, List.Repeat({null},Table.ColumnCount(Source))),
    Result = if row>-1 then Table.FirstN(Source, row) else Source
in
    Result
