groupby function in power query editor

Hello, 
I am working on power query editor. I have a table with multiple columns. I need to group "team member names"* (in a comma seperated foormat) by the "team name"* (which is repeating) and keep data of other columns same as it as repeating with "team name". 

 

Kindly help me find the solution. 
(Table: contains 10 columns, 8 text* and 2 decimal data type)

Hi @PriyankaBhamare ,

Please try:

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("VY07DoAgEAXvQk2hCGKLeAtCgf9G71+Ku5voKzabSSbzUlIhKK3ucm1t/W3TvK/IEWb9k8wnzXIVDUnjKFKHpYWxIylGkSyWVkaLcw5LG6PDuR5LO2OPcx5LB6MnaZpEGrB0Mg4q5wc=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"team name" = _t, #"team member names" = _t, #"other column1" = _t, #"other column2" = _t, #"other column3" = _t, #"other column4" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"team name", type text}, {"team member names", type text}, {"other column1", Int64.Type}, {"other column2", type text}, {"other column3", type text}, {"other column4", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Changed Type", {"team name"}, {{"team member names", each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([team member names]),",")}, {"Data", each _}})
in
    #"Grouped Rows"
