        ChangedType = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"EmpName", type text}, {"start", type date}, {"end", type date}}),
        RenamedColumns = Table.RenameColumns(ChangedType,{{"start", "startDate"}, {"end", "endDate"}}),
        GroupedRows = Table.Group(RenamedColumns, {"EmpName", "startDate"}, {{"start", each List.Min([startDate]), type date}, {"end", each List.Max([endDate]), type date}}, 0,
            (x,y)=> Value.Compare(Date.StartOfYear(y[startDate]), Date.StartOfYear(x[startDate])) ),
        RemovedColumns = Table.RemoveColumns(GroupedRows,{"startDate"})
    in
        RemovedColumns
