Hi GraceJinM
You can try the following.
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WclTSUTICYiByBlGxOhAxQyA2BmIXsDxMFIKMYAqdEHxXZDFDiLgbFjF3iHmxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Section = _t, Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t, Column3 = _t, Column4 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Section", type text}, {"Column1", Int64.Type}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", Int64.Type}}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"Section"}, {{"Data1", each try List.Sum([Column1]) otherwise Text.Combine([Column1],",")}, {"Data2", each try List.Sum([Column2]) otherwise Text.Combine([Column2],",")}, {"Data3", each try List.Sum([Column3]) otherwise Text.Combine([Column3],",")}, {"Data4", each try List.Sum([Column4]) otherwise Text.Combine([Column4],",")}}) in #"Grouped Rows"Output
