Hi @cisyncllc 

 

Pivot column feature exactly does what you want. Pivot columns - Power Query | Microsoft Docs

 

Select the "groupdesc" column and click on Pivot Column. In the pop-up "Pivot Column" window, select "Itemdesc" for Values column and expand "Advanced options" and select "Don't Aggregate" for Aggregate Value Function.
