Filled_Name = IF( ISBLANK('YourTableName'[Name]), CALCULATE( FIRSTNONBLANK('YourTableName'[Name], 1), FILTER( 'YourTableName', 'YourTableName'[Account_ID] = EARLIER('YourTableName'[Account_ID]) && NOT(ISBLANK('YourTableName'[Name])) ) ), 'YourTableName'[Name] )

Hi,
I don't know if I get your idea, but if you want to replace null values with the same name as the previous row you can use the option Fill-->down.

Hi,
Yes I did think that might have been an option, however the columns contain multiple different Customer Names and Account IDs so when I've tried this it's overwritten all of the other ones above/below it so I don't think this will work. Thank you for the idea, though!
