Move value from one cell in a column to a blank cell in another column

‎05-17-2018 08:22 AM

Hi, I do "add column" and with dax expresion "MobilePhone = if(isblank([Mobile]),[Phone],[Mobile])" I want to fill the blank celes in "mobile" with the value in "Phone".

Apparently it does it only for the first occurance. 

Any Idea?

It should work what you showed.

 

Can you share screen shot to show where it is only populating first column, and actual dax expression.
