Hi Fahid
You can add a custom column in the query editor with the following code:
= if List.Contains({Val1,Val2, Val3, Val4},[YourCurrentColumn])
then [YourCurrentColumn]
else "Other"where Val1-4 are the values you want to keep
Then, if necessary, you can remove the original column and rename the new one
