Hi Sudheeshp ,
This is my easy-to-understand method.
1.Add a custom column to return 1 or 0.
2.Group by as follows.
3.Add a custom to return the result.
4.Expand the Tables in the column.

See the code here (You will need to replace Source appropriately)
let Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table2"]}[Content], ListNonBlanks = List.Buffer(List.Transform(List.Select(Table.ToRecords(Source), (x) => x[Promo ID] <> null), (x) => x[Unique Customer])), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "ID VFP Customer", each if List.Contains(ListNonBlanks, [Unique Customer]) then "Y" else "N") in #"Added Custom"I have to add as a custom column and apply this, is it??The following is my source!!
Folder.Files("C:\INVENTORY\YEAR\ALL FILES\RETAIL SALES\DAILY SALES\VFP ANALYSIS")
Open your file in PQ and in the code generated, copy the code ListNonBlanks till the end and paste into your code after Source.

You can create a custom column and name it VFP Customer. Put following formula (if you don't need null in else, please replace it appropriately)
= if [Promo ID] <> null then "Y" else nullI have pasted a scenario samples. Please have a look
