Check the attached file please: After Appending as you did, you need to add the following step:

You can download the file: HERE

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Appended Query",null, each let x=_[ID] in Table.SelectRows(#"Appended Query", each [ID] =x  and [TEAM] <> null)[TEAM]{0},Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"TEAM"})

Hey @Anonymous ,

 

instead of messing around with "Fill Down" opeations I would first create a merge operation to pull the team column into table 2 (using the ID column as join column), after that I would execute the append operation.

 

Hopefully, this provides some new ideas on how to tackle the challenge.

 

Regards,

Tom

@Anonymous , In case DAX you cn have a column like

 

new column =
var _max= maxx(filter(table, [id] = earlier([id]) && not(isblank([team]))),[Team])
return
if(isblank([team]),_max,[Team])
