Resolver IConditional fill transformation based on preceding value
How would I transform column 1 such that blank values are replaced with the value from the preceding row, so rows 266 & 267 would contain "Use Of Fire Evacuation Chai", row 270 "2001 Manual Handling (Indoor), 272 "1251 Cscs - Health And Safety At" etc.
In psudo code it would be something like...
if currentRow.column1.value does not contain data then currentRow.column1.value = precedingRow.column1.value

So your requirement is to refer to previous or next row in power query, right? You can achieve this without adding an addtional index column, please refer to this blog: https://www.thebiccountant.com/2018/07/12/fast-and-easy-way-to-reference-previous-or-next-rows-in-power-query-or-power-bi/.
