@Anonymous  Can you please provide more details about your custom function and source files? Do you have a sample of the 'empty' file so we can understand what you mean by 'almost empty' and how the Date column fits in.


Please @mention me in your reply if you want a response.

I have a dataset published in sharepoint, created a share point list based on that Excel. 

with power Bi im connecting to SP-list, im able to build reports based on actual data.. But my client asked me to fetch all the data including share point "version history "
{   [ Version history ; Eg 1.0 , 2.0 , 3.0 ] updates done on any field is recorded with in version history which allow us to see past data aswell. } 
requirement is like I want to see all the data along with versions. which gives many records of duplicates... 
Client ;- when I choose past 1 month back i want to see only what is current values for that date ( latest version) 

My IDEA is pull version Table, Normal Table, Link Both and filter based on versions ? 
Another IDEA Pull all data in one Table as im now, slise data based on modified date ( share point modified date. ) Here how can I group data based on versions
