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.

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

or replace "" with null
