Fill down based on rank
Hi, I have the below table. I am trying to fill down the empty categories. The current dax formula I am trying get working is: Category fill down = if('Table'[Category]=blank(),CALCULATE(lastNON...
Managed to solve with the below:
VAR LastNonBlankDate =CALCULATE (LASTNONBLANK ( 'Table'[Rank], 1 ),FILTER (ALL ( 'Table' ),'Table'[Rank] <= EARLIER ( 'Table'[Rank] )&& NOT ( ISBLANK ( 'Table'[Category]) )))RETURNCALCULATE (FIRSTNONBLANK('Table'[Category],'Table'[Category]) ,FILTER ( ALL ( 'Table' ), 'Table'[Rank] = LastNonBlankDate ))
Snap , Try a new column like
New column =
var _min = Minx(filter(Table, [Rank] > earlier([Rank])), [Rank])
return
if(isblank([category]), maxx(filter(Table, [Rank] =_min ), [category]),[category])
You can also explore fill up in power query

amitchandak - thank you for your reply. Correcting myself. It is filling up instead of down - I managed to fix that.
However I realised it is only filling down one value instead of the next nonblank value.
I know I can use PowerQuery but this has to be done in dax in this instance.
