    You are right. I was confusing Table.ReplaceValues with Table.TransformColumns. :smileyembarrassed:

    My solution works though, but the code you are looking for:

     

        #"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced OTH",each [Gender],each if [Surname] = "Manly" then "Male" else [Gender],Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Gender"})

     

    Edit: it seems you switched "old"  and "new"  in your cide.

I am new to this, thank you in advance for your answers. 

 Have a dataset with 3 columns: Amount (decimal numbers positive and nebative values) - Id(several duplicate values - Type(a,b,c,d).

I just need to change values on amont upon conditions:

for type == "d" and amount <0 then change the amount into positive (abs value).

Is that possible? it seems a similar case to yours.

 

Thank you
