Anonymous what you can do here is
let's suppose this is you new value table
//tablename newval let Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Replace-values-in-bulk/m-p/1629873#M49960"), #"Extracted Table From Html" = Html.Table(Source, {{"Column1", "TABLE:nth-child(5) > * > TR > :nth-child(1)"}, {"Column2", "TABLE:nth-child(5) > * > TR > :nth-child(2)"}, {"Column3", "TABLE:nth-child(5) > * > TR > :nth-child(3)"}, {"Column4", "TABLE:nth-child(5) > * > TR > :nth-child(4)"}, {"Column5", "TABLE:nth-child(5) > * > TR > :nth-child(5)"}}, [RowSelector="TABLE:nth-child(5) > * > TR"]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Extracted Table From Html",{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}}), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type", [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Changed Type1" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Cost Code", type text}, {"Discipline", type text}, {"Sub Discipline", type text}, {"Location", type text}, {"Function", type text}}) in #"Changed Type1"once you append the new val to masterdata and follow the steps. In this way you can always ensure that the up-to-date values are reflected for each code
//tbl masterdata let Source = Web.BrowserContents("https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Power-Query/Replace-values-in-bulk/m-p/1629873#M49960"), #"Extracted Table From Html" = Html.Table(Source, {{"Column1", "TABLE:nth-child(2) > * > TR > :nth-child(1)"}, {"Column2", "TABLE:nth-child(2) > * > TR > :nth-child(2)"}, {"Column3", "TABLE:nth-child(2) > * > TR > :nth-child(3)"}, {"Column4", "TABLE:nth-child(2) > * > TR > :nth-child(4)"}, {"Column5", "TABLE:nth-child(2) > * > TR > :nth-child(5)"}}, [RowSelector="TABLE:nth-child(2) > * > TR"]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Extracted Table From Html",{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", type text}, {"Column3", type text}, {"Column4", type text}, {"Column5", type text}}), #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(#"Changed Type", [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Appended Query" = Table.Combine({#"Promoted Headers", newval}), #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Appended Query", {"Cost Code"}, {{"ad", each _, type table [Cost Code=nullable text, Discipline=nullable text, Sub Discipline=nullable text, Location=nullable text, Function=nullable text]}}), #"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Custom", each let x = [ad], y = Table.AddIndexColumn(x, "Index", 1, 1, Int64.Type), z = Table.SelectRows(y, each [Index] = List.Max(y[Index])) in z), #"Removed Other Columns" = Table.SelectColumns(#"Added Custom",{"Custom"}), #"Expanded Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Custom", {"Cost Code", "Discipline", "Sub Discipline", "Location", "Function", "Index"}, {"Cost Code", "Discipline", "Sub Discipline", "Location", "Function", "Index"}) in #"Expanded Custom"

I know that I can merge two tables, exclude those matching to my table, delete the rows in the Main Master Table and then append my own code table. But is it the only way of doing things?
