Creating a new column with selected repeating cells data
Hi
I need help trying to figure out how to repeat certain values in a column, repeating for each row. Please see below, an example of what I am looking for. The information is grouped by a ledger account number, followed by several transactions and then subtotaled. Then, the next account number starts and the transactions unders this group are also grouped and sub totalled.
I want to repeat the account number in a new column, such that every transaction (Row) is allocated to the respective account number. I have seen this done before using Data Transform in PowerBi, but just cant remember how the person did it.
Please let me know if anyone can help.
thanks.
