Combining email data with attachment data

I have linked Power BI to a folder in Outlook. In this folder I receive emails with attachments which have the same headers.

For example:
email 1 (sender a@aa.com, time rec 13 Nov 2019 11:02am)
attachment 1:
head1|head2
2        |4
4        |1


email 2 (sender b@bb.com, time rec 14 Nov 2019 10:015am)
attachment 1:
head1|head2
6        |7

In the query editor I have used expand attachment and then Combine Files to get:
head1|head2
2        |4
4        |1
6        |7

Is there a way to combine this table with email data (sender and time rec):
head1|head2|sender|time rec
2        |4        |a@aa.com|13 Nov 2019 11:02am
4        |1        |a@aa.com|13 Nov 2019 11:02am
6        |7        |b@bb.com| 14 Nov 2019 10:015am


thanks

Hi @Kanivan ,

Open the Query Editor and go to the Advanced Editor to see if there is a #"Removed Other Columns1" step, comment or delete this step, then replace #"Removed Other Columns1" in the next #"Expanded Table Column1" with the previous step #"Invoke Custom Function1". Finally, delete the extra columns, the result is as follows:
