Add column in PowerQuery with data from specific row and column

Hello,

I'm working on a data model using data from MS planner. The extract of the data contains 4 rows at the top with some data about the extract, then row 5 contains the headers, then the rest has the data. It's easy enough to remove the top 4 rows then promote the column headers. But, my problem is I need one piece of data that is in the top 4 rows, in this instance it's the Plan ID. I've pasted in an example dataset below - the item I need is in red, and the blue ones are the column headers:

 

Plan nameSpring 2021   
Plan IDcf0uNgqczU6fOY-xhhv0vJYAD5tj 
Date of export20/01/2021

What I hope to do is add a column for all records that contains the plan ID, and then remove those top 4 rows. So the output would look something like this:

I plan to merge data from multiple plans together, so need something against each one to know what plan it relates to.

 

If anyone can help me with how I could do this I'd be really grateful.

 

Many thanks
