@RickL,
Add a cutsom column in your table.
if Text.Contains([Aggregated_Ethnicity], ";")=true and Text.Contains([Aggregated_Ethnicity_Group], ";")=false then [Aggregated_Ethnicity_Group] &";"&[Aggregated_Ethnicity_Group]else [Aggregated_Ethnicity_Group]
Then duplicate your table, and split columns and merge tables. For more details, please review attached PBIX file.
