Hey Guys,
I'm using DirectQuery. The source of the data looks like this:
| Entry No. | Account No |
| 2 | 600001 |
| 2 | |
| 4 | 608001 |
| 4 | |
| 9 | 600003 |
| 9 | |
| 9 |
I can't use the option "fill down", because of the Direct Query. Is there any way I can create a new Column like this in DAX ?:
| Entry No. | Account No | Column I need |
| 2 | 600001 | 600001 |
| 2 | 600001 | |
| 4 | 608001 | 608001 |
| 4 | 608001 | |
| 9 | 600003 | 600003 |
| 9 | 600003 | |
| 9 | 600003 |
Thank you for your help!
Best regards
Hi @iBot,
AFAIK, current power bi has limited the Dax function usage in calculated column/table when you are working with direct query mode.
What type of data source are you working on? You Can try to use SQL query to achieve these fill-down operations if you are using SQL or Oracle which supports the use t-SQL query.
