Anonymous is there logic to give value for check3 column, there is many way to achieve this, like add index column or custom column and put the logic there.

 

for changing value, you can replace value function to update the values but you cannot directly edit the values.

Hi parry2k ,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

There is no logic for adding values in those columns. I would like to manually add those values without any logic.

 

For Changing values, How to use replace value function?

 

Thanks

        Anonymous add new column for index which will have value 1 and 2 and then add another custom column by adding index column and your old column, it will give you incremental value and in next step remove columns you don't need and rename column title. There is a way lot flexibility when it come to power query, you need to explain your problem well so that you can have exact solution to your problem
