Hi, this will work with sample data, but I'm affraid that it won't solve your issue whit other texts

Add this as custom column. Replace Source with your previous_step reference and [Column1] with your column with such text

= Table.AddColumn(Source, "Transformed", each 
        [ a = List.RemoveMatchingItems(Text.SplitAny([Column1], " -"), {" ", ""}),
          b = List.Distinct(List.Transform(a, (x)=> if Text.Contains(x, "/") or Text.Length(x) < 3 then x else Text.Proper(x))),
          c = Text.Combine(b, " ")
        ][c], type text)

 

Whole Code

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WCghQcHN0CvJ0DlbQVQBxEpOKMpOLlWJ1QHL6Hi7OrnAFYEFnf78QR08/1yAgNxYA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t]),
    Ad_Transformed = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Transformed", each 
        [ a = List.RemoveMatchingItems(Text.SplitAny([Column1], " -"), {" ", ""}),
          b = List.Distinct(List.Transform(a, (x)=> if Text.Contains(x, "/") or Text.Length(x) < 3 then x else Text.Proper(x))),
          c = Text.Combine(b, " ")
        ][c], type text)
in
    Ad_Transformed
