I have a similar issue but i want  to do it the other way round. I have null values and i want to replace these with "unallocated. 

this is what i want.

I've tried

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type","","unallocated",Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"Principal Truck"})

and I've tried creating a new colum but this doesnt seem to work?

 

Any ideas please?
