Hi @CEllis ,

 

You can achieve this in Power Query by using the Fill Down feature. Here's how:

  1. Load your table into Power Query.
  2. Sort the Mark date column in ascending order.
  3. Select the Group column (which will initially have null values for gaps).
  4. Go to the Transform tab and click Fill Down to propagate the last valid date across rows until a new value is encountered.

This will fill the Group column with the reference dates for each continuous streak where Present = 2. 

 

Best regards,
