Table.ReplaceMatchingRows not working as expected

I have a requirement to replace multiple values of a multiple columns in a table, like 

 

Order        Item             Qty          Serial

123 
1111
1313
1113

 

Need to replace rows 1 for Order and 1 and 3 of Seria

 

I choose to use the Table.ReplaceMatchingRows function but unfortunately function doesn't return the required output neither throws error. Statement I am using

 

Table.ReplaceMatchingRows(#"Renamed Columns",{{[Order = 1],[Order = 0]}})

 

Above statement didn't throw any error neither it replace values to 0, above statement is a example one as I get the columns to be replace dynamically through parameters.

 

Thanks

Siva

 

 

  • siva_powerbi  that is because you did not provide the record for the whole row to be replaced

    Table.ReplaceMatchingRows( #"Changed Type",{{[order = 1,item=1,quantity=1,serial=1],[order = 0,item=1,quantity=1,serial=1]}})

      Thanks for the solution its working but my requirement is dynamic is their any way that we can replace all values in column with out matching and not using the table.replacevalues.
