Repeat last date for each row

Hello everyone,

 

As you can see, i need a calculated column, that repeats the last date whenever the value between "Total Left" and "Amount Left Day Before" doesnt change, and if i get a difference i get the present day.

 

So, for "Date" 03/03/18 i got 34 and 0.... so it returns 03/03/2018. The next day i still got 34 and 34, so it keeps the date 03/03/18.

However on date 03/06/18 i got 140 and 34, so the "Last Movement Day" receive 03/06/18.

 

I did a calculated column, but i cant keep the previous day ( i got a blank value ) when "amounts" column keeps equals. Can someone help me filling blank cells with present date values?

 

Many thanks !!

here is a dax calculated column

 

Column =
VAR Dif = Table1[Total Left] - Table1[Amount Left Day Before]
VAR previousrow =
    TOPN (
        1,
        FILTER (
            Table1,
            Table1[Product] = EARLIER ( Table1[Product] )
                && Table1[Date] < EARLIER ( Table1[Date] )
                && ( Table1[Total Left] - Table1[Amount Left Day Before] )
                <> 0
        ),
        [Date], DESC
    )
RETURN
    IF ( Dif = 0, MINX ( previousrow, [Date] ), Table1[Date] )

What I would suggest in your case is simply apply "Fill down" function.

 

Before:

Select the last column and click on Fill and down:

What I get:

Let me know if this is the solution you are after. If not, we will work it out in Power Query - no problem 🙂

 

Thanks

Ok, I think I might have jumped to gun here. I see that you are using a calculated column, so Fill Down function will not work.

My result:

The code I have used:

let
    Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\PowerBI_problem.xlsx"), null, true),
    RFC_Sheet = Source{[Item="Sheet1",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data],
    #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(RFC_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]),
    #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Promoted Headers", "Index", 0, 1),
    New_app = List.Accumulate(#"Added Index"[Index],{0}, (state,current) =>  if current = 0 then {#"Added Index"{0}[Date]} else if #"Added Index"{current-1}[Total Left] = #"Added Index"{current}[Total Left] then state & {List.Last(state)} else state & {#"Added Index"{current}[Date]}),
    Add_columns= Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(#"Added Index")&{New_app}),
    Column_rename = Table.FromColumns({Table.ColumnNames(Add_columns)}&{Table.ColumnNames(#"Added Index")&{"Last Movement Day"}},{"Old","New"}),
    //Convert each row to a list
    Column_rename_torows = Table.ToRows(Column_rename),
    //Rename it using the list
    Renamed_cols = Table.RenameColumns(Add_columns, Column_rename_torows )

      in
     Renamed_cols

 

I have pasted your table into Excel and then imported into Power BI into Power Query:

filldown.png

Then I add Index column:

   

 #"Added Index" = Table.AddIndexColumn(#"Removed Bottom Rows", "Index", 0, 1)

 

Then I add this crazy line, which solves your problem:

 New_app = List.Accumulate(#"Added Index"[Index],{0}, (state,current) =>  if current = 0 then {#"Added Index"{0}[Date]} else if #"Added Index"{current-1}[Total Left] = #"Added Index"{current}[Total Left] then state & {List.Last(state)} else state & {#"Added Index"{current}[Date]}),
    

I have explained it here.  The effect is the list of values you are after:

filldown.png

 

The rest of the steps involves pasting it all together and renaming the columns:

    Add_columns= Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(#"Added Index")&{New_app}),
    Column_rename = Table.FromColumns({Table.ColumnNames(Add_columns)}&{Table.ColumnNames(#"Added Index")&{"Last Movement Day"}},{"Old","New"}),
    //Convert each row to a list
    Column_rename_torows = Table.ToRows(Column_rename),
    //Rename it using the list
    Renamed_cols = Table.RenameColumns(Add_columns, Column_rename_torows )

Let me know if it helped.

 

Thanks
