Get previous value on blank row

[Sweak]

Hi,

I'm struggeling with the following.

For our report, we need to make the distiction between primary and secondary catagories. However, this is not sufficiently present in the current data set.

I've tried to make one myself. Despite how easy it is in Excel, I can't get the same done in PBI.

From the data list, I've been able to make the distiction between primary and secondary data rows. Subsequently, the primary row should be filled with the value in the previous row, if the cell/row is blank.

So based on the example below, in row 2 of column "Primair", the value of row 1 should be copied to row 2.

Could anybody help me?

Thanks in advance!

@Sweak , create a common dimension and join both column one join will be inactive.

and you can active a join in a measure

category= distinct(union(distinct(Table[primary category]),distinct(Table1[secondary category])))
