so basically take one value from first column and repeat for some amout of rows.

I was trying with index and referst to previuos row but of course this won't work.

 

Do you think it is possible to achive this?

Hi @ilTac ,

 

Try to add a column with the following code:

if (try Date.FromText([Date]) otherwise null) = null then [Date] else null

Then do a fill down on that new column
