add date value automatically

Dear All,

Hope someone can help me with the following:

I have a table with a column DATE IN with date values.

Sometimes one of the fields in this column is empty.

I want to add an extra column (custom column?) in power query which copies all the dates from the DAT IN column and fills the empty field with the date of TODAY.

Thanks!

John
