        #"Expanded List" = Table.ExpandListColumn(#"Added Custom", "Date"),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Expanded List",{"DateStart", "DateEnd", "Subtraction"}),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Removed Columns", {"Client", "Date"}, {{"ItemsSum", each List.Sum([Items]), type number}}),
        #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Grouped Rows",{{"Date", type date}})
    in
        #"Changed Type1"
