Edit Cell values in power Query

This may be a dumb question but how do I edit cell values in a column in Power Query?  

1 ACCEPTED SOLUTION

I get it. I need to create a new Table and then enter my data and then merge that that column in to existing main table.

Can you please share your demo input and expected output!

Presumably, the information on what you want to change the values to is already somewhere in the data? Otherwise, is there a way to bring it in? Then you could keep the whole thing automated instead of manually updating your merge-table every time something changes in the source data.

The problem is that I have allot of cells with the same numbers that I want to replace with different values.  Is there a place to edit row values one at a time?  

No, that's not possible and goes against the entire philosophy/mode of operation of a data transform operation. What happens if your data gets rows added later? You have to devise a process that always works.

 

If it's too complicated for PowerQuery you could always use a Python step, though that severely limits your publishing options.
