    Hi Chrisjr 

     

    Please do the followng in Power Query:

    base table

    add a custom column

    try (if Number.FromText([Column]) > 0  then null else null) otherwise [Column]

    *you can also take something like <> 0  if you also have values below 0

     

     

    Execute the fill

    Delete the old column

     

     

     

    Best regards

    Michael

    Chrisjr , just adding to Mikelytics  solution. If you want to replace the values and do the fill down in a same column without duplicating and deleting the columns, Please try the below code in your replace value step.

    = Table.ReplaceValue(Source,each [Name],
    each if Number.FromText([Name]) > 0 then null else [Name],
         Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Name"})

     

    Thanks,
