@Anonymous , null is blank in power query. Unless it is text null. If it text null then replace it null

or replace "" with null

@Anonymous , 

Use replace to achieve this. 

Leave Value to Find as empty and replace with null. 

In M-Query it looks something like below. 

= Table.ReplaceValue(#"Replaced Value","",null,Replacer.ReplaceValue,{"COLUMN"})

Try replacing the column name and add the above line in advanced editor else use the first step.

I have an entire Datamart with all strings stored in "Not NULL" columns. (blanks). Is there a way to change this somewhere Database or Table wide instead of changing this value on each individual field?

THanks for your help.
