Power Query Struggle - need help

So I have a distinct (no duplicate ) Column named "Date"
But on each date i want to put Category Column. This is the end result should be 

DateCategory
20-DecA
20-DecB
20-DecC
22-DecA
22-DecB
22-DecC
25-DecA
25-DecB
25-DecC

 

Hope this makes sense.
Thank you

In the query editor, add a custom column with the list of category values

 

= {"A", "B", "C"}

 

Then click the double arrow of the column and choose "Expand to New Rows".

Pat
