I'm trying to import an Excel spreadsheet but the data in the sheet has rows grouped by date. An example:
| Item | Ship Date |
| 522 | Jan-20, 2018 |
| 747 | |
| 642 | |
| 834 | |
| 414 | Jan-21, 2018 |
| 996 | |
| 568 |
All the Items on and below the row with the date have the same Ship Date until the next row with a Ship Date then all the Items have that Ship Date, and so on. Is there a way to code in the Advanced Editor something that will get the Ship Date and apply it to all following rows that have no Ship Date until the Ship Date changes (then apply that Ship Date and so on)?
Any other ideas on how to get the Ship Date on each row?
Solved! Go to Solution.
In the Query Editor - right-click on the ShipDate Column Header and select => Fill => Down
