Rearrange Data

Hi everyone, 

 

Kind of new to the power query/pbi here, hope its an easy questions 

Please see below screenshot 

How to convert from the data set on the left to the data set on the right? In either power query/query editor

The data on the right repeat in that arrangement 

I assume its a custom column function?

Download my attached workbook to see what I did.

 

Essentially I:

  1. Added a custom column. If the date column was null, get the value from the other column. Your data seems to consistently have a blank date where there is an account number.
  2. In the new column, selected Fill Down.
  3. Filtered out the blank rows in Date.

End result - Blue table is before, green table after:

Thank you @edhans 

 

New trick "Fill down/up" learned !

Great! Fill Up/Down is a really useful transformation when you have a report you are trying to convert to a useful table.
