How to take filtered range of cells from a column and append to another column in the same table?

I have a table similar to the one shown below:

Col ACol BCondtion X
A123A3221
A322A3000
A232A1231

 

What I want to do is filter on Condition X where value is 0 and then append the corresponding Col B values to Col A for the same table. The result will look like below:

 

Col ACol BCondtion X
A123A3221
A322A3000
A232A1231
A300--

 

Basically, I am adding to Col A the values that are in Col B but not already in Col A.

I want to do this in Power Query (M code) NOT Dax

 

Hope that makes some sense.

 

Thanks in advance

@zb134  There may be a more streamlined way to do this without duplicating the table, but off the top of my head I used the following steps:

  • Load the table
  • Make a duplicate of the table
  • Filter the duplicate table on Condition X = 0
  • Remove Column A and Column X from the duplicate table
  • Rename Col B in the duplicate table to Col A
  • Append the duplicate table to the original table
