Replace exact one null in column.
Anonymous you can't replace it but you can add a new column in PQ or DAX with a logic that will create the column you need. The logic will require that the row will have something that will distinguish it from the other rows in your table
Are the values in the other columns unique? Meaning could you create a conditional column (either in Power Query or data view) to add in your value? Something like this: = IF( [unique column] = ABC), 25000$, [Price]
Community ChampionAnonymous maybe based on logic that will take account other columns if they differ in a way you can control which null will be replaced.
Can you share an example data and what you want to achieve
I described my problem incorrectly. From the beginning. The data source is MS SQL, after downloading the data to PowerBI, I want to do data transformation in Power Query. One of the columns has missing data (nulls), which I would like to fill with different values. I can't do it in MS SQL because I don't have proper access to DML operations. The problem is that I can't change exactly one cell with a null value. Option replace the value replaces all nulls in the entire column.
This is example of a column that I have in my table:
| Price | ||
| 15000$ | ||
| null | ||
| 10000$ | ||
| null |
|
| null | ||
| null |
|
| 45000$ |
|
And this is what I want to achvieve:
| Price | ||
| 15000$ | ||
| null | ||
| 10000$ | ||
| null |
|
| 25000$ | ||
| null |
|
| 45000$ |
