Copy field down throughout column to fix formatting

So I basically want to change a file from this:

 


To this



In power query. How do I do that dynamically?

 

  • You can use Table.FillDown() to achieve the result.
    As Table.FillDown replaces null values you will have to replace the blank values in Column1 with null values prior to using Table.FillDown.
    A sample code for that would be...

    = Table.FillDown(Table.ReplaceValue(yourPreviousStep, "", null, Replacer.ReplaceValue, {"Column1"}), {"Column1"})

    Hope this helps.
