Duplicate Rows

Hello All,

 

I have the dataset as the following:

 

Part Number           Item description

026 48202 000        Catridge

026 35601 000         Oil

 

 

I need duplicate both the columns by four same rows . I have attached the screenshot of the final result.Any help will be appreciated.

 

Thank You

Iva

    GroupRows = Table.Group(Source, {"Part Number"}, {{"All", each _, type table}}),
    CustomRepeat = Table.AddColumn(GroupRows, "Repeat", each Table.Repeat([All],4)),
    RemoveOtherColumns = Table.SelectColumns(CustomRepeat,{"Repeat"}),
    Expand = Table.ExpandTableColumn(RemoveOtherColumns, "Repeat", {"Part Number", " Item description"}, {"Part Number", " Item description"})

You can define a new custom column as a list {1,2,3,4} or, equivalently, {1..4} and then expand that new column by clicking the expand button: AlexisOlson_1-1645821409933.png

 

Add column:

Expand column:
