Fill in values where id is duplicated

I am trying to fill in values in the column "tags_Sprints" where the id is duplicated.

Put another way, if "tags_Sprints" is not null, I want the value to show in all instances within that same id.

 

So, if this is the table:

KapBI_1-1637768507748.png

I want the column tags_Sprints (or a new column) to show values like this:

KapBI_2-1637769922537.png

Is that clear enough?

 

EDIT: attaching the table.

idtagstags_KI  tags_SprintsSprint_Date

2304Sprint2021.12.14 Sprint2021.12.1412/14/2021

2301Sprint2021.12.14 Sprint2021.12.1412/14/2021

Thanks in advance.

OK. I edited and pasted the data into a table.

let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjI2MFPSUVJAwbE6YAlTXBImQI63p665iaERCgtDUXBBUWZeiZGBkaGeoZGeoQlUDRZhQyN9QxN9kBBMvzEu2xF2GqOwUBQZwqVQWRiKKHGiAaYTYwE=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [id = _t, tags = _t, #"tags_KI  " = _t, tags_Sprints = _t, Sprint_Date = _t]),
    #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,each [tags_Sprints]=" ",
(k)=> List.Max(Table.SelectColumns(Table.SelectRows(Source, each [id]=k[id]), "tags_Sprints")[tags_Sprints]),
(orig, test, repl)=> if test then repl else orig,{"tags_Sprints"})
in
    #"Replaced Value"

How to use this code: Create a new Blank Query. Click on "Advanced Editor". Replace the code in the window with the code provided here. Click "Done".

Thank you @lbendlin !

It works perfectly on a new Query, however, when I apply it to my full table, it doesn't work.

It doesn't break the query, but it doesn't fill in any values either.

What do you think is going on? What do you need?
The only difference is that blank values in my full table are "null" instead of blank, but I don't that should affect the output.

Please provide sanitized sample data that fully covers your issue.
