Hello Experts, I'm trying to replace values - to blank or null in a columns using: = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed ColumnsY",Number.FromText("-"), null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"ColumnX"}) ...

Don't use Number.FromText("-"). Since you are trying to replace "-" with null, hence Number.FromText is not needed. This will give error as "-" can't be identified as number.
Use below
= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Renamed ColumnsY","-",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"ColumnX"}) - 4 years ago
Yes, and then I could use Replace Errors instead. Thanks!
