I need to use index and offset to get a parent value in the same value as a child.  Or if you have another suggestion.  I'm new to power query and this forum has been very helpful.

So below is an example I need. 

How could I do the same thing in power query?

NAME Offset/Index (row)
PARENT 1 0
CHILD 1 1
   
PARENT 2 0
CHILD 1 1
CHILD 2 2

In excel, I use a the offset formula to get the parent to the child row.

=OFFSET([@NAME],-[@[Offset/Index (row)]],0)

Results below

CHILD PARENT
CHILD 1 PARENT 1
CHILD 1 PARENT 2
CHILD 2 PARENT 2

In Power Query, add a new column with this formula:

if Text.Contains([Name],"PARENT") then [Name] else null

Then select the new column and use the fill down from the transform tab, filter out parents from Name column.

Thank you so much!  That was exactly what I needed and a lot easier than what I wanted to do!
