Replace cell values with PowerQuery blank values

Hello

I would like to know what the steps in PowerQuery would be to replace values with values that were white (cell without data).

Thank you!

Xavi

Hi, @XaviOV 

What data type is your column?

If you column type is number,it will show "null" when there there is no data in cell (defalut). 

If you column type is text,it will show " " when there is no data in cell.

If you column type is text and a lot  of cells with the value null,please right click the column ->replace values as below.

Then it will be  changed to Blank.

@XaviOV , if it the text "null", the use replace with null as empty. if it null, the empty one no need has this same as blank. 

 

or use text.replace
