I apologise for the confused title but I do not know how to succinctly describe my request for help. I thought it best to create a table to show what I mean (see below).

The text in green shows the name I already have in my table and it's location. I want to use Power Query to add a new column (shown in red) and insert the green text in all the rows where there is a day of the week showing in Column A (See yellow text for where I want the copied data inserted).

The next block of data starts with a new name (see second instance of green text) and I want that placed in the next set of rows where there is a day of the week showing in Column A (See yellow text for where I want the copied data inserted). I have around 100 names that need to be inserted in this manner so it is a long list.

I have tried Inserting a column using a conditional statement but frankly, all I am getting is frustration.

Please can you help a Newbie?
