        Please refer to attached sample file with the proposed solution

        Comment = 
VAR IsDupe = COUNTROWS ( CALCULATETABLE ( 'Table', ALL ( 'Table'[Index] ) ) ) > 1
VAR FamilyPartTable = CALCULATETABLE ( 'Table', ALLEXCEPT ( 'Table', 'Table'[Family Name], 'Table'[Part No] ) )
VAR TableBefore = FILTER ( FamilyPartTable, 'Table'[Index] < EARLIER ( 'Table'[Index] ) )
VAR DescriptionsBefore = DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( TableBefore, "@Description", 'Table'[Description] ) )
VAR SuppliersBefore = DISTINCT ( SELECTCOLUMNS ( TableBefore, "@Supplier", 'Table'[Supplier] ) )
RETURN
    SWITCH (
        TRUE ( ),
        IsDupe, "Dupe Combo",
        ISEMPTY ( TableBefore ), "Unique Combo",
        'Table'[Description] In DescriptionsBefore, "Only Supplier is different",
        'Table'[Supplier] In SuppliersBefore, "Only Description is different",
        "Both Description and Supplier are different"
    )
