Completing a date table with currencies
We integrate a currency conversion in Power BI and have used Euro Stat for this. This works so far that we have all currency conversions for working days. Currently it looks like this:
We would like to have a table where weekends and Public Holidays are included.
The idea was to take previous values. Whenever a value is missing, a previous value would have to be taken (idea was a loop, go back until value is filled in and then take this value).
For this, we need to add a complete date list + attribute (currency indicator). For example we need two rows for saturday(one for USD and one for CNY).
We have a full calendar in our PBI file that could be used for joints or whatever the idea is.
Thanks in advantage

I have attached my sample file at bottom. Hope it helps. Prepare a full date table and attribute table in advance.

If you want to Merge you could make 2 copies of the date table and in each of them add a column for currency. In one USD and in the other CNY.
Then Append those tables together.
Then do the Merge. Left-join from this large table to currency table, join on date and currency.
That should get you a large table with no values for exchange rates on some dates. Replace those empty values with null.
If you then sort that table by currency AND date, I think you might get away with a 'Fill Down'. I'm just visualising in my head at this stage. See how you get on.
