Fill with same value based on index column or minimize table to one column

Hi everyone, 

 

I am trying to solve the following problem where I have a table similar to the following one (in Power Query Editor):

MrSoter_0-1667493668486.png

I would like to get two of the following result but I don't know how to get it:

MrSoter_1-1667493845493.pngMrSoter_2-1667493878892.png

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Create new table:

Table 2 = 
SELECTCOLUMNS (
    'Table',
    "UID", 'Table'[UID],
    "Date1",
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[DATA1] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[UID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[UID] ) )
        ),
    "Date2",
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[DATA2] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[UID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[UID] ) )
        ),
    "Date3",
        CALCULATE (
            MAX ( 'Table'[DATA3] ),
            FILTER ( 'Table', 'Table'[UID] = EARLIER ( 'Table'[UID] ) )
        )
)

Table 3 = DISTINCT('Table 2')
