    Do the following steps:

    1. Duplicate your source query
    2. Filter on one with Exception Type = Daily
    3. Apply Remove Duplicates on the table

    4. On the other copy of the query, filter out daily
    5. Append as New query

    I'm looking at your top image as the desired output.  It seems to include duplicates (lines 2 and 3) as well as an Exception type of Monthly.  I thought you wanted those removed? Can you clarify?
