Changing Text in Column

‎12-13-2022 07:56 AM

How do I change part of the text in a column.  Where ever it shows (LW) in a coulmn I need the text to replace everything in the line and read "Letter Waived".  So in this example  the Table is called "Legal Files" Coulmn is called "Description_1".  Any of the data that shows (LW) needs to replace all the text in that line to say "Letter Waived".

Go to power query, right click on the column you want to replace values in.

 

Right click then choose replace values then set values to find = LW and value to replace by is = Legal Files
