Hi,

This M code works

let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Data"]}[Content],
    Partition = Table.Group(Source, {"Zip"}, {{"Partition", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index",1,1), type table}}),
    #"Expanded Partition" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Partition, "Partition", {"Cust ID", "Index"}, {"Cust ID", "Index"}),
    #"Added Prefix" = Table.TransformColumns(#"Expanded Partition", {{"Index", each "Cust ID" & Text.From(_, "en-IN"), type text}}),
    #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(#"Added Prefix", List.Distinct(#"Added Prefix"[Index]), "Index", "Cust ID")
in
    #"Pivoted Column"

Hope this helps.

Ashish_Mathur That helped me a lot. I was hoping this would help me with two columns instead of one. Any thoughts? I have a 3 rd column CustName which matches w a CustID. Is it possible to end up w columns such as: Zip(unique), CustName1, CustID1, CustName2, CustID2, CustName3, CustID3, etc.

    You are welcome.  I can get CustName1 ad CustID1 in one cell/column - not in different columns.  May be someone else can help.
