Fill blank rows with the top row value

Hello all,

 

I have a table with column name identity number. Here , if a id number for few columns/rows are same, it will just have top row value and all down will be blank as their value is also same. so, in power bi i want this blanl values to be filled with top latest row value. 

 

sample data:

 

Id No;
1

5

8

 

 

9

 

10

 

So blank values to be filled with respective top most data.

  • Hi Anonymous ,

     

    Only when the value is "null" can use "Fill Down" feature:

     

    "by the way, my blank rows are as just blank , not null"

    So, you need to do like this:

    First, replae blank with "null";

    Second, Fill down
