You can group by ClientID and take the min over the date column to find the Initial dates. Then merge that back with the original query and add a custom column that returns different results if the date equals the initial date.
Here's a full sample query you can paste into the Advanced Editor of a new blank query:
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("VczLCQAgEAPRXnIWYlZFrUW2/zb8HcTrg5kxIASIirSoDg9XGtMC0wFbkKkfKmWvSfsili0N7hM=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ClientID = _t, LastPRAPAREDate = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ClientID", Int64.Type}, {"LastPRAPAREDate", type date}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"ClientID"}, {{"InitialDate", each List.Min([LastPRAPAREDate]), type nullable date}}), #"Merged Queries" = Table.NestedJoin(#"Changed Type", {"ClientID"}, #"Grouped Rows", {"ClientID"}, "Grouped Rows", JoinKind.LeftOuter), #"Expanded Grouped Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Merged Queries", "Grouped Rows", {"InitialDate"}, {"InitialDate"}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Grouped Rows", "AssementType", each if [LastPRAPAREDate] = [InitialDate] then "Initial" else "Reassessment", type text) in #"Added Custom"
