Hi Mooihoek ,
try this on a blank query
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtJRUorViVYyNDSxNDUE8ozM9Q1M9I0MjAzB4qFgBbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Case Number" = _t, #"Date Submitted" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Case Number", type text}, {"Date Submitted", type date}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each #"Changed Type"{2}[Case Number]), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Added Custom", each [Date Submitted] <> null and [Date Submitted] <> "") in #"Filtered Rows"Hope this helps

This is where I'm at, Created two new columns Type &Time however those values need to come up a row.
Because there's an error there on the top row it won't let me complete a Fill Up then filter the columns, any thoughts?

Hi, Mooihoek ;
Hi, according to your description, there is another method you can try:
1.add custom column in power query
2.replace value (""->"null")
3.fill up
4.remove empty rows
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtJRUorViVYyNDSxNDUE8ozM9Q1M9I0MjAzB4qFgBbEA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Case Number" = _t, #"Date Submitted" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Case Number", type text}, {"Date Submitted", type date}}), Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Select([Case Number],{"A".."z"})), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(Custom1,"",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Custom"}), #"Filled Up" = Table.FillUp(#"Replaced Value",{"Custom"}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Filled Up", each [Date Submitted] <> null and [Date Submitted] <> "") in #"Filtered Rows"The final output is shown below:

Hi, Mooihoek ;
You could modify it as follows:
1.custom column in power query
2.add conditional column
3.remove custom column and fill up custom1 coulmn
4.split column
5.remove empty rows
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WUtIBofw0Bdey1LwSpVidaCVDQxNLU0OgqJG5voGJvpGBEZgDpHQtdA3NwWpCIfrM3u+ZZWwc4KsUGwsA", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Case Number" = _t, #"Date Submitted" = _t, #"Date/Time" = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Case Number", type text}, {"Date Submitted", type date}}), Custom1 = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Custom", each Text.Select([Case Number],{"A".."z"})&"|"&[#"Date/Time"]), #"Added Conditional Column" = Table.AddColumn(Custom1, "Custom.1", each if Text.StartsWith([Custom], "|") then null else [Custom]), #"Removed Columns" = Table.RemoveColumns(#"Added Conditional Column",{"Custom"}), #"Filled Up" = Table.FillUp(#"Removed Columns",{"Custom.1"}), #"Split Column by Delimiter" = Table.SplitColumn(#"Filled Up", "Custom.1", Splitter.SplitTextByDelimiter("|", QuoteStyle.Csv), {"Custom.1.1", "Custom.1.2"}), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Split Column by Delimiter",{{"Date/Time", type text}, {"Custom.1.1", type text}, {"Custom.1.2", type text}}), #"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Changed Type1", each [Date Submitted] <> null and [Date Submitted] <> "") in #"Filtered Rows"The final output is shown below:
