Giving blank fields a name
Hello! I have data in one of my columns in excel sheet that have blanks. On a pie chart in PowerBI, these blanks show up as "blanks". How can I change the name blanks to something else, like "unrate...

dineshj Yeah, so then just right click the column in Power Query and choose Replace values. Leave the top one empty and the second one "unrated". Will replace null's (blanks) with "unrated".
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WKkpNUdJRMlSK1YlWSi9KTc2D8+CMpJzSVAgnFgA=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Column1 = _t, Column2 = _t]), #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Column1", type text}, {"Column2", Int64.Type}}), #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","","unrated",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Column1"}) in #"Replaced Value"

Thank you! When I refresh the data next time, will it replace the null to Unrated automatically?
