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?

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
