    Petur-Ruhl start a new query, in advanced editor, paste this code, and from here you can tweak it as you see fit.

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjI0MlbSUfLJz0vJz1OK1YGLuBYU5+fCBEyAAmGJecn5pWWpRciCHvkFqTC+KZDvX1KSWJ6ILIKhDSTompKbn1eCsNAMKBaemZeXWZCajiwWkl8EUocshOpSM1QbYgE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Id = _t, Location = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Id", type text}, {"Location", type text}}),
        #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Id"}, {{"Rank", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Rank", 1)}}),
        #"Expanded Rank" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Rank", {"Location", "Rank"}, {"Location", "Rank.1"}),
        #"Pivoted Column" = Table.Pivot(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Rank", {{"Rank.1", type text}}, "en-CA"), List.Distinct(Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Expanded Rank", {{"Rank.1", type text}}, "en-CA")[Rank.1]), "Rank.1", "Location")
    in
        #"Pivoted Column"

    Petur-Ruhl try this, I liked this approach better

     

    let
        Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcjI0MlbSUfLJz0vJz1OK1YGLuBYU5+fCBEyAAmGJecn5pWWpRciCHvkFqTC+KZDvX1KSWJ6ILIKhDSTompKbn1eCsNAMKBaemZeXWZCajiwWkl8EUocshOpSM1QbYgE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Id = _t, Location = _t]),
        #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Id", type text}, {"Location", type text}}),
        #"Grouped Rows1" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Id"}, {{"All", each _, type table [Id=nullable text, Location=nullable text]}}),
        #"Added Custom1" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows1", "Route", each Text.Combine([All][Location],",")),
        #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom1",{"All"})
    in
        #"Removed Columns"
