    This seems close, albeit with duplicates:

     

    Table = 
VAR __tmpTable1 = SELECTCOLUMNS(ALL('Data'),"__Customer",[Customer],"__Column2",[Column2])
VAR __tmpTable2 = SELECTCOLUMNS(ALL('Data'),"___Customer",[Customer],"___Column2",[Column2])
VAR __tmpTable3 = FILTER(GENERATE(__tmpTable1,__tmpTable2),[__Customer]=[___Customer]&&([__Column2]>[___Column2]||[__Column2]<[___Column2]))
VAR __tmpTable4 = ADDCOLUMNS(__tmpTable3,"__CombinedColumn",[__Column2]&"-"&[___Column2])
RETURN SELECTCOLUMNS(__tmpTable4,"Customer",[__Customer],"Combined Column",[__CombinedColumn])

    Greg_Deckler,

    Thanks to your solution I made a minor adjustment to step3. Removed "[__Column2]>[___Column2]||". And that gave the exact result I nmeeded.

     

    VAR __tmpTable3 =
        FILTER (
            GENERATE ( __tmpTable1, __tmpTable2 ),
            [__Customer] = [___Customer]
                && ([__Column2] < [___Column2] )
        )

Not sure if this helps you or if i understand what you are attempting to achieve becuase the Combine Column values seem random.
If am wrong and they are not random i apologise.

 

For a given Customer Paul join the first letter of their name with the value in Column2

Combination = [Column2] &"-"& LEFT( [Customer],1 )

The result will be: A-P
