Fill blanks in column with a value based on a condition

Hello

 

I have a column called position group which contains some values and some blanks

Also have a column called role level with some values and no blanks

 

For only the blanks in position group I want to replace with that employees value in role level.

 

So would be something like, 

IF('Spans & Layers'[Position Group] = "" , replace with values of 
'Spans & Layers'[SP Role Level], matching 
'Spans & Layers'[Employee ID]
 
 
I realise I may need to do this in query editor.
Thanks
Ross

@rosscortb , You can have a new column like

Column = COALESCE([Position Group],[Role Level])

Thanks Link 

 

So, only the blanks in position group should be replaced with that employees value in role level. If position group already as a value then ignore.
