Remove Duplicates in a single cell Power Query

See below's image as an example.  The output should just say Tom Kinney one time.  If there are any duplicate values, separated by the delimiter, they should be removed.

 

Thanks in advanced,

Hello, I was able to follow this logic and it worked for me. Thank you so much. I am wondering if it is possible to take it one step further. Instead of simply removing the duplicates - could it display as Tom Kinney x3?

Try this custom column from Query Editor.

Replace ColumnName with actual Name of your Column

 

=Text.Combine (
                List.Distinct(
                          List.Transform (Text.Split([ColumnName],","),each Text.Trim(_))
                                  )
                     ,", ")
