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:
| Transaction | Type | Amount |
| Invoice #1 | ||
| blank | Invoice | $20 |
| blank | Payment | $10 |
| Invoice #2 | ||
| blank | Invoice | $30 |
| blank | Payment | $20 |
| blank | Credit Memo | $5 |
Desired Output:
| Transaction | Type | Amount |
| Invoice #1 | ||
| Invoice #1 | Invoice | $20 |
| Invoice #1 | Payment | $10 |
| Invoice #2 | ||
| Invoice #2 | Invoice | $30 |
| Invoice #2 | Payment | $20 |
| Invoice #2 | Credit 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!
