Duplicate row by value

Hello everyone, 

I need help with the process to duplicate a row by the value on one specific column. 

 

I have this table (example) :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I need that if the Value 3 is "PS02" or "PS03", it should create a new row with the same values but Value 1 = Value 2  and Value 3 = blank.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards.

    Hi Luque,

     

    Based on above sample dataset, please create a calculated table with below DAX.

    Table_2 =
VAR tempTable =
    FILTER (
        Table_1,
        Table_1[Cancelation reason] = "PS-002"
            || Table_1[Cancelation reason] = "PS-003"
    )
RETURN
    UNION (
        Table_1,
        SELECTCOLUMNS (
            tempTable,
            "No", [No],
            "Due Date", [Document Date],
            "Document Date", [Document Date],
            "Cancelation reason", BLANK (),
            "Amount", [Amount]
        )
    )

     

    Best regards,

    Why are you trying to duplicate rows, what is the end goal here?

     

    If you are trying to double count the rows then maybe a calculated column would help, such as (psuedocode):

     

    If Value 3 is "PS02" or "PS03 then 2 else 1

     

    and then sum the new column as a measure?

      Hi Ruksuro, thanks for the reply.

       

      I need to duplicate rows because in my report i need to show the same row in a matrix but in different dates at same time, and just in specific situations.

       

      I have to do that because in the source data (SQL Server from Microsoft Dynamics Nav 2009), the row i have to show is being updating instead of creating a new one, so i have to duplicate it.

       

      Its like that:

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

       

      Thanks again, and i hope i explained myself.
