I have a SharePoint Online list that I am working with. One of the fields is an Assigned Person field. I have been able to get it into a table of just IDs and the assigned people, following the structure of Table 1 below. I am trying to get it to be like Table 2 below.
I’ve found a couple of postings that seem to deal with similar situations, but they just don’t seem to work. Some of the steps they list will not have the same options I am given when I follow their steps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Create a blank Query, go to the Advanced Editor, clear the existing code, and paste the codes give below and follow the steps.
let
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMlTSUQpILSrOz1NIVIrViVYyQggkgQWMEQLJYAEThEAKWMAUj0AqWMAM3RZzdC0W6NZaoGuxRNdiaIBiTSwA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Person = _t]),
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"ID", Int64.Type}, {"Person", type text}}),
#"Grouped Rows" =
Table.Group(
#"Changed Type",
{"ID"},
{
{"all", each Text.Combine(List.Transform([Person], Text.From), "|")}
}
),
#"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "all", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("|", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"all.1", "all.2"})
in
#"Split Column by Delimiter"
