Hi JoMont,
Hope you are doing well.Open advanced editor in power query and copy paste the below M-code.

Thanks Akhil. Other work priorities took over for a bit but I am now getting back to this task. I can now get the groupings to work as requested, with all the columns but I have discovered a potential issue in the data like:
Index
Medical Registration Number
Discipline Type
Start Date
End Date
FTE equivalent
State

Ideally I plan to group rows 1&2 and 3&4 but as they have different MMM values I'm not sure that I should. I have discovered at least one occurrence in the dataset and have no idea how many there are in total. Before I implement the solution provided by Balakrishnan_J at the bottom, which deletes this entry, I need to know how many there are and where they occur.
I have been mulling this over whilst I work on other things but have not arrived at a solution, so would really appreciate any help.
