Add Column from specific cell, then pull rows starting at row 7

I need help creating a query that will add columns based on the content on 4 cells. (D1, D2, D3, E4), then add to the content starting at A6:BA6 (Headers). Extracting the headers and rows below Row6 is straight forward. However, I have never added a column based on a single cell reference to all rows. That said -- I need to add 4 columns based on (D1, D2, D3, E4) and add them to all rows to right of other data. I will combining over 1000+ (CSV files). The CSV Files were originally XLS workbooks. Is there an example of this someone can point me to? I have imported workbooks, removing top/bottow rows etc. but need help with the step(s) needed to add the four columns based from the 4 cells (which should always be in same place) to every row of the file before merging/appending/combining. Hopefully this makes sense. See screenshot below for sample data.

[Edit] It would be helpful if the query would ignore any files that did not have data in those cells (D1, D2, D3, E4) -- or (C1:C3) LABEL/Customer/Last Updated.

 

Thanks, Kevin

The code below would handle one sheet. You would need to adapt it to work with the folder. 

Regards,

Mike

 

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\t\Orders.xlsx"), null, true),
    Sheet2_Sheet = Source{[Item="Sheet2",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    AddLabel = Table.AddColumn(Sheet2_Sheet, "Label", each if [Column3] = "Label:" then [Column4] else null, type text),
    AddCustomer = Table.AddColumn(AddLabel, "Customer", each   if [Column3] = "Customer:" then [Column4] else null, type text),
    AddLastUpdated = Table.AddColumn(AddCustomer, "LastUpdated", each if [Column3] = "Last Updated:" then DateTime.From(Text.Replace([Column4], ",","")) else null, type datetime),
    #"Filled Down" = Table.FillDown(AddLastUpdated,{"Label", "Customer", "LastUpdated"}),
    #"Removed Top Rows" = Table.Skip(#"Filled Down",5),
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Removed Top Rows", [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    RenameCalcCols = Table.RenameColumns(#"Promoted Headers", List.Zip({List.LastN(Table.ColumnNames(#"Promoted Headers"),3), {"Label","Customer","LastUpdated"}}))
in
    RenameCalcCols

Thank Mike - that was helpful!

 

Below is what I have now -- but I think I need to fix something to get it to work. Not sure if I need a parameter / depend query. I guess I am missing something

 

let
