How to Copy Value from Previous Row (Main Line) to Its Succeeding Rows (Details)

I'm trying to copy the Invoice # values to its succeding blank rows (or breakdown).

 

Here's what my data looks like: 

TransactionTypeAmount
Invoice #1  
blankInvoice$20
blankPayment$10
Invoice #2  
blankInvoice$30
blankPayment$20
blankCredit Memo$5

 

Desired Output:

TransactionTypeAmount
Invoice #1  
Invoice #1Invoice$20
Invoice #1Payment$10
Invoice #2  
Invoice #2Invoice$30
Invoice #2Payment$20
Invoice #2Credit Memo$5

 

Any ideas on how to do this in Power Query or Dax. Thanks in advance!

  • Hi, Anonymous 

    I suggest doing this in Power Query Editor.

    Please make sure that the blank value need be shown as null, like the below video.

    Got it! Been using power query for a while but it's my first time to know about the Fill Down function. Many thanks!
