Replace blanks with null
Dear friends
i need to fill down column but its cant because its not "null" how can i convert blank cell into null.
thank in advance for any suggestions.

Use replace to achieve this.
Leave Value to Find as empty and replace with null.
In M-Query it looks something like below.
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"COLUMN"})
Try replacing the column name and add the above line in advanced editor else use the first step.

thanks a lot manikumar34 its work!
I have an entire Datamart with all strings stored in "Not NULL" columns. (blanks). Is there a way to change this somewhere Database or Table wide instead of changing this value on each individual field?
THanks for your help.

Anonymous , null is blank in power query. Unless it is text null. If it text null then replace it null
or replace "" with null
