    I think I found a different solution.

     

    I adapted this:

     

    https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Extract-table-from-column/td-p/1022979

     

    To create a new column but used Table.SelectColumns to specify the exact column I wanted as so:

     

    if [Assigned to] is table 

    then 

      Text.Combine(

        List.Transform(

          List.Combine(Table.ToRows(Table.SelectColumns([Assigned to], "title"])))

          , each Text.From(_)

          )

        ,","

        )

    else [Assigned to]

     

    Which returns the items in the specified column delimited by comma, unless the original column value is null, in which case it returns a null.
