Dynamically computing months column

I have added Pivot steps in my table  and this made my months column (Jan to Jun) appear. The next step am the below query to replace column values using 

Table.ReplaceValue(#"Pivoted Column",null,0,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"JAN", "FEB", "MAR", "APR", "MAY", "JUN", "JUL", "AUG", "SEP", "OCT", "NOV", "DEC"})

 

The problem here is since I dont have no data from Jul to Dec, the query fails to execute. How do I dynamically make the list of month's appear in the above formula ?

Hi @smathew8,

change your pivot function that it pivots not only distict values in your table but more - see screenshot.

Sample data:

Your pivot looks similar to mine, right? The List.Distinct ... gives you distict values of the column Month. But you want more.

Therefore you define all the 12 months by yourself. There will be nulls for all months where no values exist.
