Power Query copy value to first row only
I am trying to copy only the value in the first row in one column to the first row in a new column, else null for all other rows. Help gratefully received.
cdfjdk1 I guess you want to add a conditional column with the following code:
= if [Index] = 0 then [Column A] else null
And in case you then want to fill the entire column with that number, right-click on the column header, Fill, Down.
Or this might also work for you. Add a custom column with the following code to fill the entire column with the first number of Column A. No need for an Index column then.
=Source[Column A]{0}

- cdfjdk1Copper ContributorAh! Thank you
= if [Index] = 0 then [Column A] else null
is so simple I'm embarrassed I didn't think of that myself!- Riny_van_EekelenPlatinum Contributor
cdfjdk1 That happens sometimes. No worries. By the way. I added another solution after you may have looked at my initial response. An all-in-one solution.
