Hi @crUzo ,
Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

I’ve gone ahead and reproduced your scenario in Power BI, and I’m glad to confirm that the output matches exactly as per your expected result. The logic successfully replaces the null values in the channel column by generating new rows with all distinct non-null channel values for the given code.

For your reference, below is the DAX I used to create the final output table:

daxCopyEditFinalTable =
VAR __channels =
    FILTER( DISTINCT( 'Table'[channel] ), [channel] <> BLANK() )
VAR __nullCodes =
    DISTINCT( SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Table', [channel] = BLANK() ), "code", [code] ) )
VAR __BaseTable =
    FILTER( 'Table', [channel] <> BLANK() )
VAR __AddTable =
    SELECTCOLUMNS(
        GENERATE( __channels, __nullCodes ),
        "channel", [channel],
        "code", [code]
    )
VAR __Result =
    UNION( __BaseTable, __AddTable )
RETURN
    __Result

I've also attached the .pbix file for your reference so you can check and test the setup directly in your environment.

@crUzo Maybe:

Table1 = 
  VAR __Channels = FILTER( DISTINCT( 'Table'[channel] ), [channel] <> BLANK() )
  VAR __nullCodes = DISTINCT( SELECTCOLUMNS( FILTER( 'Table', [channel] = BLANK() ), "code", [code] ) )
  VAR __BaseTable = FILTER( 'Table', [channel] <> BLANK() )
  VAR __AddTable = SELECTCOLUMNS( GENERATE( __Channels, __nullCodes ), "channel", [channel], "code", [code] )
  VAR __Result = UNION( __BaseTable, __AddTable )
RETURN
  __Result
