    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] )
        )

Ashish_Mathur,

That is a very simple solution using M.

Thanks a lot.

 

It needs some tweaking to remove same letter combination, e.g. A-A, but still very easy to achieve.

Thank you for your help.
