Edit values in query editor

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I have 3 columns Check1,Check2 and Date. I would like to add Check3 column in query editor and would like to enter its manually as 2 and 3 for 1st and second row respectively.Is it possible to add a column and give its value manually in query editor?

Also can i edit Check2 columns value as 1,4 instead of 2,3 for 1st and 2nd row respectively.

Thanks in Advance.

@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

Hi @parry2k ,

Thanks for the reply. But if i have 2 rows and both the rows having value as 4,4 and i would like to change it to 5,6 then with the helpl of replace value function it looks like we ould not able to achieve that.

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

Hi @parry2k ,

I just want to add one column which will have 10 rows but there is logic in those nummbers. Those all are random numbers. So i was just curious whether we can add that column in Power Query directly/manually or if we dont have any other way then we need to go back in source(Excel file) and need to add that column values in excel. My first preference is to add in query editor that is why i am curious on is there any way to do it in Power BI itself.

Thanks
