Fill down by group

[Kpham]

Dear All,

Anybody can give me advise how I could fill down a value based on a group?

[Fowmy]

@Kpham 
You can fill based on the group this way:

Step 1 : Group By Delivery

Step 2 :  Add a Custom Column

Step - 3: Expand the Column "Count"

Step- 4:  Kepp only expanded columns and the new column (Custom) and Delete All other Columns

Hello Fowmy, 

I tried this solution for my problem because I have the same.  I would like just to have the fill down for the column enddate of procument when the project has one. So project 004 & 005 should be empty/blank. 

I group my data in this way:

Addig Custom Column I did this way. (Please notice that I didn't wrote the queries again and let it in german languge, furtherrmore the name of "enddate of procurment" is originally "[T08 Enddatum Planung 1]

But I cannot extend this custom column. Instead i got an errormessage. 

What I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Kpham ,

I created the test data.

Sort the two columns first, then group them and fill them down.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WSlTSUVKK1UFjGGJhgRlJWBlGWFhgRjJWhjFWoVgA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}}),
    #"Sorted Rows" = Table.Sort(#"Changed Type",{{"Column1", Order.Ascending}, {"Column2", Order.Descending}}),
    #"Group" = Table.Group(#"Sorted Rows", {"Column1"}, {{"All_Rows", each Table.FillDown(_,{"Column2"}), type table}}),
    #"Expanded All_Rows" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(Group, "All_Rows", {"Column1", "Column2"}, {"All_Rows.Column1", "All_Rows.Column2"})
in
    #"Expanded All_Rows"
