Current data
Greg, thank you for quick. I a beginner to power bi so I will try to explain to best as I can. I want to be able search text like "Delivery" from column (Condition Reason) and replace those other columns highlighted in yellow with different values as shown.
I can get UNIT column to change as follow:
Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type", each [UNIT], each if Text.Contains([Condition Reason], "Delivery") then "SelfService" else [UNIT],Replacer.ReplaceText, {"UNIT"}),
But when I try to have multiple replace value, it will only replace the last value in M code.
This is the final result I am trying to achieve.
Any suggestion?
