Hi nathan_kul ,
Please refer to the following steps. You can adjust the Source step to match your actual data source.
let Source = Table.FromRecords({[ID = 1], [ID = 2], [ID = 2], [ID = 3], [ID = 3], [ID = 3]}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"ID"}, {{"Data", each Table.AddIndexColumn(_, "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type)}}), #"Expanded Data" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Data", {"Index"}, {"Index"}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Expanded Data", "ID2", each if [Index]=0 then [ID] else null), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Index"}) in #"Removed Columns"Best Regards,
Gao

Hi nathan_kul, different approach here:
I've used Anonymous sample data.Output
let Source = Table.FromRecords({[ID = 1], [ID = 2], [ID = 2], [ID = 3], [ID = 3], [ID = 3]}), GroupedRows = Table.Group(Source, {"ID"}, {{"All", each Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(_) & {{[ID]{0}?}}, Value.Type(_ & #table(type table[Unique ID=Int64.Type],{}))), type table}}), Combined = Table.Combine(GroupedRows[All]) in Combined - 2 years ago
lovely question, use this formula to reach this result
let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content], #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(Source, "Index", 0, 1, Int64.Type), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Added Index", "Custom", each if List.Contains(List.FirstN(Source[ID],[Index]),[ID]) then "" else [ID]) in #"Added Custom"
