    Use this step. Replace #"Changed Type" with your previous step

    = Table.Group(Table.TransformColumns(#"Changed Type",{"SKU", each Text.BeforeDelimiter(_&" ", List.Difference(Text.ToList(_&" "), {"0".."9","A".."Z","a".."z"}){0})}), {"SKU"}, {{"Total Quantity", each List.Sum([Quantity])}})

    Hi Tmk123,

     

    Or maybe just create a group key... something like:

    Table.AddColumn( PrevStep, 
    "GroupKey", 
    each List.First( 
         List.Select( Text.SplitAny([SKUcolumn], " /-"), 
            each Text.Length(_)>1 
         )
    )
)

    I hope this is helpful
