Combining every 2 rows
I am attempting to combine every 2 rows together so: rows 1 and 2, rows 3 and 4, rows 5 and 6 and so on. How would I do this in power query?

Download sample PBIX file with the following code
This query does what you want.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("jZLLTsMwEEV/ZRQ2IFVg59HHEtIiELQUWHQRdeEmQ7Hk2MEPVeHrcaIuQEWpJVuW7PG5M3emKCISjSJyTbrjkoBqUJobAqVQBqsrf3nH97BS3LSwVFZpE21HRSSdEP7tePj10jRKWye5beECaJykfdw5+FLtuEDIVd0w2YagPXkShH5m5lsoeJSVM1ZzDEs8nWR9HO24cTLNBhTypxm8Y+m0/xsCTyg9dYX24L9c3RrLBOQCmYYNs6hh7VU+OAbaT9JfVQyZ9Habvwa5TrJT1/9Jfa4O0voNK77/tKVwuyBj4nTax407bjc8QyljBQ9+DhEWXw671jIZIjIjNA4anLlGVh+UFhUspPfeMi5rlDZEZJwcK0nOqWyYrFD7hsJ9HkJO09iTtz8=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Value = _t, Expected = _t, #"Next Activity" = _t, #"Company / Opportunity" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Value", Int64.Type}, {"Expected", Int64.Type}, {"Next Activity", type text}, {"Company / Opportunity", type text}}), #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Changed Type", "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each if Number.Mod([Index],2) = 0 then try Text.Combine({[#"Company / Opportunity"], #"Added Index"[#"Company / Opportunity"]{[Index]+1}}, "," ) otherwise "" else ""), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Index"}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Removed Columns", each ([Value] <> null)) in #"Filtered Rows"Regards

You could create a duplicate of the table. In table 1, add an index column starting at 1; in Table 2, add an index column starting at 0. Then merge both table based on the index columns
