You can find the Group By button on the Power BI Query Editor window in 2 places:
In the result dialog box, you can choose your key columns and aggregates. The key columns will default to what columns you currently have selected:
From here, you will get the grouped result:
Count, Max, Average, etc.... are all good options, but what if we want something else? All we need to do is edit the formula generated when we do a group:
From here we can edit the "each" parameter.
With the default variable "_", we can use any table, row, or column function for summary (or a combination of multiple).
The list of functions you can use are here:

Column aggregations are the most common kind of aggregation. They use a single column and generate a single value from that. In Power Query, a column is represented as a list, and you can refer to a column as:
table[ColumnName]
In the case of groups, the default variable "_" refers to a table, and when using the default variable, the table part of the syntax is optinoal. Hence: _[ColumnName] = [ColumnName]
Here, we will use a combination of List.Distinct and Text.Combine to produce a distinct list item:
each Text.Combine(List.Distinct([EventType]), ",")
each List.NonNullCount([EventType])
each Table.Max(_, each [StartTime])
each Table.Sort(_, "DamageProperty"){Number.RoundDown(Table.RowCount(_) * .75)}
