    Hi EDO_01_1789,

     

    Something like this?

     

    let
    Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WMjbUNzTSN7Q0N1eK1QFzDYxBXAsI10DfwAyVa4nEhekFcmMB", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [#"Validator Date" = _t]),
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Validator Date", type date}}),
    Custom1 = Table.FromColumns(Table.ToColumns(#"Changed Type") & { {""} & List.RemoveLastN(#"Changed Type"[Validator Date],1)}, Value.Type(Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type", "Previous Date", each null, type date)))
in
    Custom1

     

     

    N.B. you will need to use GroupBy to get this applied to the reviewed files in batches.

     

    Cheers,
