Hi, I'm having a major headache right now and can't think straight on this. I've tried a couple of solutions, but still can't wrap my head around what is needed.

Basically, I am trying to return a value from the first tab contingent on whether or not the value underneath cell A1 on that tab is blank or not. It's hard to describe, but I put an explainer in the cell adjacent to where the formula would be.

Should VBA be used?

[/table]
Code: 
// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    FillD = Table.FillDown(Source,{"SKU", "NAME"}),
    Group = Table.Group(FillD, {"SKU", "NAME"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    List = Table.AddColumn(Group, "Image", each Table.Column([Count],"IMAGE")),
    Extract = Table.TransformColumns(List, {"Image", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), "="), type text}),
    Split = Table.SplitColumn(Extract, "Image", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("=", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Image.1", "Image.2", "Image.3"})
in
    Split

and no, this is not a vba :)

Re: Is this solvable with built-in functions as is?

here is more flexible version:

Code: 
[SIZE=1]// Table1
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    FillD = Table.FillDown(Source,{"SKU", "NAME"}),
    Group = Table.Group(FillD, {"SKU", "NAME"}, {{"Count", each _, type table}}),
    List = Table.AddColumn(Group, "Image", each Table.Column([Count],"IMAGE")),
    Extract = Table.TransformColumns(List, {"Image", each Text.Combine(List.Transform(_, Text.From), "="), type text}),
    SplitCount = Table.AddColumn(Extract, "SCount", each List.Count(Text.Split([Image],"="))),
    MaxCount = List.Max(SplitCount[SCount]),
    Split = Table.SplitColumn(Extract, "Image", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("="), MaxCount)
in
    Split[/SIZE]

Re: Is this solvable with built-in functions as is?

Thanks again. I will hold onto the new version in case it is needed, but the original works fine too since it's just those 3 columns. I already tested it and it all comes out perfectly. I'll need to study this so I can remember it next time this type of issue comes up. I've used the power query editor before, but just for web extraction using RSS feeds. I literally spent 4 hours trying to figure this thing out so you saved me a lot of time!

Try this.
Formula in C2 (your formula) is copied down.
Formula in D2 is copied across as far as you might ever need and down.
