Replace text with 0

Suppose I have a column contains STRING and NUMERIC values. If I want to find all text values, then replace them all with 0. How should I acheive this?

    Alice601 ouch, it should be Number.FromText

    Alice601 why not add another column in power query with the following expression:

     

    try Text.ToNumber([your column]) otherwise 0

      parry2k That's a great point. But I couldn't find Text.ToNumber in Power Query.

    You may try DAX below as well.

    Column =
IFERROR (
    VALUE ( 'Table'[Column1] ),
    0
)
