ETL in Power BI Desktop

I am currently facing a problem in finding a suitable DAX formula for resolving an issue. 

 

ERP report provides information in the format below. It lists all GL first and then cost centre as a sub-total row. 

 

GL Amount
9000 10000
9001 20000
1010 30000
9002 1000
9005 2000
1011 3000

 

I want to transform my table in the format below

 

GL Cost Centre Amount
9000 1010 10000
9001 1010 20000
1010 1010 30000
9002 1011 1000
9005 1011 2000
1011 1011 3000

 

Appreciate if anyone can help

Give this a shot.

 

First Add an Index Column from Query Editor

 

Then add this calculated column

 

Cost Centre =
VAR GL_Character = 9
VAR Cost_Centre = 1
RETURN
    IF (
        VALUE ( LEFT ( [GL] ) ) = GL_Character,
        MINX (
            TOPN (
                1,
                FILTER (
                    Table1,
                    [Index] > EARLIER ( [Index] )
                        && VALUE ( LEFT ( [GL] ) ) = Cost_Centre
                ),
                [Index], ASC
            ),
            [GL]
        ),
        [GL]
    )
