Hi Anonymous,
If you can specify the single cell with a certain rule, you can replace the value with a IF statement to avoid replacing all data values.
In below example, I replace the "PO" in third row where [Name] is Josh.
let Source = Excel.Workbook(File.Contents("C:\Users\xxxx\Desktop\Sample Data.xlsx"), null, true), data_Sheet = Source{[Item="data",Kind="Sheet"]}[Data], #"Promoted Headers" = Table.PromoteHeaders(data_Sheet, [PromoteAllScalars=true]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(#"Promoted Headers",{{"Name", type text}, {"Type of Product", type text}, {"Location", type text}, {"Start Date", type date}, {"End Date", type date}, {"Net Rev(USD)", Int64.Type}}), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","PO", each if [Name]="Josh" then "HH" else "PO" ,Replacer.ReplaceText,{"Type of Product"}) in #"Replaced Value"Best regards,
